Some of the best guys statistically we’ve ever signed, the on-base percentage people a year or two ago, it doesn’t work out always.
“It’s a game that has to have a strong human element, whether it’s scouting or performing. You just don’t draw people up on computers and plug them in and that means they can perform at Wrigley Field in a pennant race. You just keep putting all your information together. You rely heavily on your scouts.”<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So...yeah.
Can we go ahead and push Hendry off on his ice floe now?

I truly hope that Hendry is the last holdout in the organization in that regard. That statement is beyond troubling on so many levels.
