Like never ever pick a toolsy guy like Justin Upton when you could have a complete baseball player like Alex Gordon? Sure the Colvin picked sucked, but Hendry isn't really the guy to blame for that one. That would be Tim Wilken. Just looked at his minor league statistics and to say the pick sucked is an understatement, he's awful and quite probably will never even sniff a major league roster.

I feel bad for Arnold about how his heart will break when the next GM after Hendry is worse. What is your evidence that the next GM will be a lock in terms of being inferior to Hendry? I'd take a GM who drafted baseball players instead of "toolsy" athletes like Tyler Colvin. The draft is a crapshoot. I know its a crapshoot but, at least draft someone who excels at baseball not, someone who has the ability to play baseball and may or may not excel at it.

DL Soriano, if can't hit, he completely useless, go with Fox in LF.
-
Of course now the Ump' zone becomes consistent!!!
-
It really wouldn't, that's what I'm trying to say. Guys fall off the cliff all the time in baseball. We understand now that the most likely result is a guy staying about the same each year (plexiglass principle and all), but we seem to be underestimating the spread of possibilities. The bell curve is much wider than common expectations around here seem to think. Baseball players rarely follow a simple curve over their career. They break out big and they bust out big quite frequently. So when's Alby gonna fall off one? Don't know because, I'm convinced he's 36-38 years old if he's a day.

Another Carpenter strike there, not called
-
LOL Campbell saying Hossa has made him look silly before, like that's hard to do or something.
-
I think you're right, lets hope Bradley, Soto, Soriano and Ramirez come into next season healthy.
-
I'd really like to see Pujols brushed back here
-
Look it's the Red Wings' playoff MVP to do the 7th inning stretch.
-
A healthy Cub team playing to near their abilities blows this Cardinal team away.
-
I'm ready for football, in Jay Cutler, we, for a change, have the big time player.
-
And yet Lou sits, guess he's conceded this game.
-
I imagine they will win it all again this year. It's been a few years since they took a team of little leaguers with Albert to the title. Albert Pujols or not they've got no chance against a real team such as the Dodgers.
-
Making this Cardinal team look good is not that easy of task yet, the Cubs are having no problems doing so.
-
If I were Lou I'd go jump in the Ump' face today - there's a difference in the strike zones and it's not even close.
-
There's definitely two strike zones today.
-
Every *$#@@!!! hard hit ball goes to someone unbelievable. The same crap happened the last two games of the Atlanta series as well.
-
I'm shocked that wasn't a strike.
-
This game or the season?
-
Carpenter helped us out, if the Cub bullpen can be effective, there's no doubt they'll get to the crap in the Cardinal pen.
-
I'd let him face Carpenter. I wouldn't.
-
Go get him NOW!!!!!!!
