I'm going to say this slowly and loudly: THE CUBS DID NOT SPEND $300MIL THIS PAST OFFSEASON. THAT IS NOT HOW CONTRACTS WORK. The payroll for this year, IIRC, is hovering around $115 MIL, so while the production has still not been great, its not like we are spending Yankee money. Second, I can't really blame Hendry too much for the offense so far. We don't have Lee, ARam is only recently getting hot, and we all know Murton, and Theriot should be starting more. So while I don't agree with signing DeRosa and Floyd, so far Floyd has been productive. The bullpen on the other hand has been mishandled and not built right since forever. Giving large contracts to relievers hasn't worked once so far but yet Hendry keeps trying it. I'm sure if he keeps banging his head against that wall maybe the wall will break. Or his head will, one of the two.
