How many times has he traded for Grabow? He gave up a draft pick when going after Latroy Hawkins. He usually signs free agent relievers, he hasn't had to trade for many. But just because he didn't overspend on Harden I'm supposed to feel confident he won't do that with a freaking reliever he doesn't need? Acquiring him is overpaying. It's up to Hendry to prove he won't overpay. I don't have to assume he'll do the right thing. -
Remember when almost everyone except me thought that cutting ties with Wood and not offering him arbitration and acquiring Gregg to replace Marmol in the setup role as Marmol (inevitably) closed was a terrible idea? I do. You thought not offering arbitration to Wood was a good idea? And you are bragging about it?

Why not? He's an idiot. And he does it all the time. He doesn't need a freaking LH reliever yet we all know that when he gets his mind set on something he will get it and overpay for it. How many times has he overpayed in terms of prospects in trades? 2 or 3? Gregg (Ceda has been hurt all season and Gregg has been pretty good) Wuertz (completely indefensible) Pierre (Even that got us Donaldson who was the second piece in the Harden trade, but I won't try to justify this trade) His entire MO is to overpay for everything. I will worry about him overpaying every time he talks to another team. It's what he does.

Hendry crap is the Astros?
-
Depends on what you want confirmed. Did some talking head on some sport show say, "we might trade Fox for a reliever" - probably. Is there any chance of us trading Fox for Grabow straight up? No, Hendry isn't exactly golden when it comes to free agents, but he is fairly good when it comes to making trades... Somebody on comcast suggested they should trade Fox for a reliever. I heard that in the two minutes I foolishly listened to the Score yesterday as well.

Are you really judging a prospects-for-big leaguer trade 6 months after the trade? Especially when the 3 prospects have performed rather well in the minors? Are you really saying you can't criticize a trade of a player when the team went out and replaced said player with Aaron Freaking Miles? But that's different. That's a criticism of a free agent signing of the replacement player (especially when the likes of Orlando Hudson were available this offseason). No, it isn't different. It was a transaction where he replaced one player with another. Trading DeRosa was not a problem, getting relievers for him and then not having a suitable backup to 3B on the roster and having Aaron Freaking Miles signed to 2 years is even worse.

He is good on the trade market, though. He's good when he gets to take other people's money problems off their hands, otherwise he's nothing special.

Why do people mention OFFSEASON trades when I'm talking about IN SEASON trades especially at the deadline. why do only inseason deadline trades count? Hendry usually gets to take other people's money issues off their hands, that's his advantage at the deadline.

I think you don't realize you stole my line. You could have ignored the person who questioned your freak out.

How many triples do the Cubs have this week?
-
What's your definition of awful then if it's not a guy who can't crack a starting rotation? When I'm saying not awful, I'm kind of responding to the thought that the Cubs have to have somebody better than this in the minors. Obviously Hart is not a good MLB starting pitcher. For his role though, Hart is exactly what you expect, maybe even a little bit better. A guy who would be expected to give you a 6 or 7 ERA in that slot would be an awful minor league replacement (and there are several of those around the league). So he's not an awful candidate to start 2-3 games a year? I can buy that.
-
Here. Any day of the week. Yeah. It always should be applauded when a crappy pitcher gives back 2 runs after we scored 4. What the hell is wrong with you people?? So you can either flip out or applaud something, no in between?

And I think it's ridiculous to pretend you have to watch a documentary about a freaking sports fan before you can criticize them for making it. Well that's just stupid. No doubt that a horrible defensive player who is very old would make a catch that nobody ever makes? Nobody makes catches up against the side wall at Wrigley that deep into the outfield. Yet you have no doubt Moises Freaking Alou was going to pull it off? That's nuts.
-
Seriously? What crowd doesn't scream on contact? Yeah, I never got that criticism. So the crowd has to wait until the play develops before they can show emotion? What I'm saying is watching it on TV, you hear the crowd scream thinking something good happens. Then the camera shows a line drive at Matsui. Disappointment, that's all. How hard is it to follow the action yourself on TV?

Why did Houston sac bunt earlier this inning?

Why did it take so long to get my Fontel Mines fix?

MLB Network is just a PR machine.
-
That's a bunch of nonsense. Why do we have to watch before we can decide it's absolutely stupid to do a documentary on the guy? Alou wouldn't have made that catch. It would have been the most athletic thing he'd pulled off in 10 years at the time.

For now at least. Za,bramo will pinch hit if they need one early.
