Evidence that Sammy is universally considered a jerk? Cause I like and respect him, and I think Hendry's a jerk. I don't get the Sammy love around here. Even when he was crushing, he was a self-centered, egotistical ass when he wasn't blowing kisses to the camera. Are folks just too young to remember Dawson? And I wouldn't call Hendry a jerk. Grossly incompetent, but I've never read any reports that he mistreats players or anyone else or has anything but the best interests of the team in mind. because a lot of us don't care if he was self-absorbed or egotistical. Frankly, I kind of EXPECT superstar athletes to be that way, so i don't get too worked up when that's the case. Would I prefer every player to heave the personality of Hawk or DLee or Dempster? Sure I guess. But I'd rather them be good than nice. We want our team to win. And if running 9 a**holes out there for 162 games racks up wins, then let's do it. As for Hendry, I've got no personal beef with the guy. I just want him as far away from my favorite baseball tam's front office as humanly possible.
