Absolutely freaking not. Hendry sucked balls as a GM. He doesn't deserve credit for leaving some assets. Every team has some assets. Hendry screwed the pooch as GM. He inherited a big budget team with a farm system stacked with pitchers but no hitters (that he was responsible for building), his budget increased every year but he screwed the pooch because of his horrible philosophy and general meatheadedness. This is absolutely correct. How many organizations are there in baseball where if a new GM came in, you could say there are zero assets? FFS, the Brewers, who are in about the same shape as the Cubs 4 years ago, even have "the assets necessary to make trades" also, castro wasn't drafted, he was signed. look at how many failed first rounders there were under hendry.
