There has been a lot of optimisim and pessimism in many of the different threads and I thought it would be more interesting to focus it to one thread. In general, Mr. Hendry is doing exactly what we wanted him to do. Find people. Now how good of job is he doing it in this very mediocre market? I like DeRosa, Soriano, and Lilly I can live with since Schmit wanted to be on the west coast. Marquis? I don't know. It would be great if he could post a winning record, but this is probably the first move of Hendry's I did not like this offseason. And I think that is saying a lot with what we have already gotten. If I were to grade him I'd give him a B. He kept Ramirez and Wood (Thank God) and gotten some power and pitching in Soriano and Lilly The line-up doesn't look the best in the NL, but we'll have Lee hopefully for the year. It would be nice if Prior could return for a number 2 starter, but I think we have better starting pitching already than what we did at the start of last year. (Saying that Hill can keep up his last 2 month of the season performance he did last year) It's a decent rotation. I don't know about many of the posters but I'm optimistic. Hendry has made the moves with a strong chance of more to come. So what does everyone else think?
