I don't remember them signing Pena to "get more lefthanded." In fact, I don't recall any good right handed options at first base this offseason. You had Dunn, Adrian Gonzalez, Nick Johnson and Pena as the best options there (that I recall). All lefties. Assuming we couldn't/wouldn't match what the Red Sox gave up for Gonzalez, our best two options were Dunn and Pena. Dunn cost a ton and is unproductive so far, Pena cost a little and is unproductive so far. Hendry, to my knowledge and memory, never entertained the idea of signing Berkman. I don't mean to say that he would be duplicating the season he is having with the Cardinals, but it is looking like a major mistake that the Cubs did not even consider him as an option.
