Why does this mean Hendry is a failure? He didn't have to have Peavy, and when it came down to it, he likely didn't have the money to spend on him. Cmon, the entire offseason has been a failure. This ballclub did NOT improve in the offseason. We coulden't scratch out any runs in the playoffs for two years in a row. Jim Hendry is a giant failure. If 3 playoff appearances in 6 years is a giant failure, what do you call the previous 60 years of Cubs GMs? I have my serious gripes with Hendry as well, but theres no need for a massive overreaction. This offseason WAS a failure. We regressed by a ton. We basically gave up DeRosa for nothing as it stands.
