If you guys want to continue to give Hendry a gold star for his acquisition of Marquis, then I really don't know what else to tell you. It still goes down as a mark against Hendry in my book.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This is what drives me nuts Butch. First you argue that he overpaid for Marquis in that market. I give you multiple examples showing that he didn't. You then argue he wasn't worth the money we paid him. I give you statistics which strongly suggest he was. So examples show he didn't overpay (anymore than anyone else overpaid for starters that year), and statistics show, AT THE VERY LEAST, he earned the 21 million dollars he was given (unless Fangraphs is off by a factor of 50 percent). And your answer is basically, "I don't care about any of your fancy statistics, examples, or precedents. I still think Hendry overpaid, and he sucked".
How am I supposed to argue that?

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
