What the fuck is going on here?! I'm not even as big a DeRosa fan as most guys on this board, but even a blind man could tell you that he was an immensely valuable part of this ballclub. To shed his ass for 3 middling fucking prospects?! When the <i>best</i> prospect in the deal "might" one day become a decent back-of-the-bullpen guy?!!

And to sign Aaron Bitchfucker Miles for nearly what we were paying DeRo, when he isn't REMOTELY as good?! If this was part of a Peavy scenario, it would have been a fucking 3-way trade.
It's not.

Guess how I feel about Big Jim today?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Calm down. Why would it have to be a "3 way trade" to be part of the Peavy equation? It's free'd up salary and brought in pitching prospects, both of which we had to do to get Peavy.

I don't understand the vitriol here. Let Hendry finish what he's started, <b>he obviously has a plan.</b>

Yeah. A <i>Hendry</i> plan. Every one of his "plans" includes paying 2.5 million to REPLACEMENT-LEVEL players...guys who you could EASILY GET for the 390K minimum.
And the Miles signing was right in the midst of him trying to SHED payroll.

Clappie, let's quote your post from last night about how Jim is such a magnificent GM, and that you're always on the same page as him.
(sorry Clappie, but I let that post slide last night because of my regard for you personally. But all bets are off after today's dizzying turn of events).

If we don't get something like Peavy now, I take that quote back. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Agreed, if we make no further moves I will agree to Hendry having fucked up. As it stands, I'll give him some time to work.
