Mission accomplished, I guess. I hope Hendry is happy.

I'm sure he's thrilled. Because the logical idea is that he wanted to drive down the value of a guy he signed to a 90 million dollar contract, so he could trade him for cents on the dollar. Because that would totally reflect well on his tenure.

But by putting Zambrano in the bullpen, isn't that exactly what he did?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
No, that's not exactly what he did. He put him in the bullpen because he thought there were 5 other guys who would do a better job. Did Hendry put Z back into the rotation, because he somehow knew Zambrano would completely fucking melt down in front of the cameras?
If you guys honestly believe this was all a plot so Hendry could get Z to drop his no trade clause, then I don't know what to tell you. If you honestly believe this was a plan by Hendry to devalue a 90 million dollar investment HE made, I don't know what to tell you. If you honestly believe a GM who is fighting to hold onto his job would INTENTIONALLY throw a guy with a contract like Zambrano's under the bus, I don't know what to tell you.
