Possibly the dumbest trade during Hendry's tenure. Unless the Cubs add a differance maker in either RF or CF the outfield is shot to poop. Not only does this deal make no sense for the Cubs money wise (as we are paying a portion of J.Jones' salery), but it further adds to the plethora of middle infielders that we already have. That being said what is to happen with DeRosa, who was arguably the Cubs MVP this year. Horrible move.

Ya know what- I'm sorry but when you have been through everything Ronny has, I certainly believe it is acceptable to have a drink once in a while. People need to lay off the unnecessary criticism.

OK BCVM, you want insight, well here goes. In trading Barrett yo urid yourself of one of the best offensive catchers in th game as well as a proven leader according to numerous teammates. You lose a guy, who although over the top at times, provided some spark to an otherwise dull team that seems to go through the motions more and morte each day. We see fundemantal mistakes build upon one another, whether it is lack of communication in the field, careless situational hitting, and inexcusable baserunning. If you ask me I'd rather have an outspoken voice like Michael in the locker room. As far as Hendry goes he has compiled a career full of mistakes into a 4 year period. He has continued to build ball clubs around power hitting who are unbelievably streaky, instead of a consistant time who manufactures runs by getting on base. We spent 300+ million this past offseason and yet we are only a few games better than last year's pace. Jim has opened the checkbook and obliged cubs fan's requests, all at the sametime overspending in the wrong places and mortgaging the Farm system-which used to be near the top of the Majors and is now a middle of the pack club. This franchise has been headed in the wrong direction for years now and we are too blind to see it.

It's funny, I go to sleep thinking there is no way the Cubs could possibly disappoint me more and yet each morning I awake to a brand new day in which they somehow find a way to look less like a major league team and more like a bunch of Little Leagers with a brainless moron at the helm (Hendry). Add this to your stellar resume Jim.

This whole Cubsteam is a joke....Biz Z is the biggest headcase I've ever seen and there is no excuse for his actions following the inning. He needs to go reguardless of his talent. Im embarrased to be a Cubs fan today.

Cedeno=Patterson..And budget concerns, what is this stand up comedy?
