This post doesn't really make any sense.

i can see the offseason unfolding now - hendry dumps bradley for nothing and still has to pay over half the remaining contract - hendry overpays for derosa on a multi-year deal to play right - hendry gives 4/48 to chone figgins - hendry overpays and gives a multi-year deal to grabow - hendry doesn't offer harden arbitration, doesn't get the picks

Milton is just actng like a bitch now. How about you sack up and honor the contract you signed instead of telling everybody how much you want out. Seriously, did he not expect any of this when he signed here? Nothing has been unexpected, except for his crappy production. Stop acting like you were forced into this situation and are somewhere you didn't want to be. YOU chose to come to Chicago, and you knew what it would be like if you didn't perform up to expectations.

Prior to 2006, DeRosa was a career role player who was given an opportunity to start in Texas and made the most out of it. That earned im a big contract, that was ill advised at the time. It payed off, and it made Hendry look good. Similarly, prior to 2008, Aaron Miles was a career role player who had a pretty good year last year after getting a lot of playoff time. Hendry thought he could try the same thing, with a smaller contract. We all know how that turned out. In seasons with at least 100 AB's DeRosa was 4-for-6 in having an .700+ OPS before singing with the Cubs. Miles, using the same criteria, was 1-for-5. Also DeRosa always drew a decent amount of walks per at-bat while Miles never did. There is a big difference between the two. Miles you knew he was below average and just hoped he could play up to being an average player. DeRosa was an average player that you hoped could play up to being good. And yet again, Miles was not signed to replace DeRosa on his own. DeRosa was signed to be a fulltime player. Miles was not. This isn't excusing the signing of Miles or justifying how bad he's been, but it's disengenuous to stack the two up as if the Cubs were expecting the two to have the same role. If DeRosa wasn't traded, would Miles have been signed? He may not have replaced DeRosa in the lineup, but I think it's pretty clear Hendry signed him to fill in many of the roles that DeRosa filled. Utility infielder, right side of a platoon with Fontenot, etc. Thw two moves were definitely related in the offseason. Hendry was going to get/keep one of the two, but not both.

Hasn't Meph been guaranteeing that Zambrano's ERA wouldn't be below 4 for like 3 straight seasons now?

Dunn isn't a free agent this offseason, and a Hoffpauir/Fox platoon in right sounds terrible.

I think it's fair to say Miles was somewhat of a replacement for DeRosa. They even signed him within hours of when they traded DeRosa.

Why can't you just let it go? it was kind of cute at first, now it's just really obnoxious and unnecessary. That's what, like the 6th time you've used that joke? It's run it's course.

Ryan Dempster's 14 mill for jason marquisian type production is a drain on the club. dempster isn't having a jason marquis type season.

Since May 1- .328/.415/.640

.307/.391/.586 Seriously, wtf? Where did this come from? What can we expect next season? It seems like just a few weeks ago people wanted him benched for Hoffpauir, and now instead he's having (by far) the second best season of his career. Really weird
