Negative = Me, KC, Jon, TT, Navin, CubsinNY, Rob (might have missed a few) Positive= Everyone else You're missing a category. There are people who are still unsure, and want to wait to hear the official numbers of the deal. Put me in that category. I see. Personally I rather like the move. While I'm not terribly excited about 8 years (but then again, who is?), I am very happy to have him here. As far as the deal I see Hendry as partially stuck in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If he doesn't sign anyone big people will call him stupid for not trying and if he does pay an insane deal that todays STUPID baseball market demands, people say hes wasting money. That's actually where most people are -- good to see them make a splash and get some talent, bad to see them go so many years and oh so many dollars on someone who is nearly my age. Then someone called someone else's mother fat or something and all hell broke loose.
