Can you at least acknowledge that Hendry's "plan" led his team to the best record in the National League last year?

If you can acknowledge that his "plan" has led to 0 playoff wins in 2 years and 6 attempts.
I don't mean to be arguementative, but I think Jim at this point needs to be measured not by the skill level of the team but their performance as a whole, and as a whole, both the 2007 and 2008 teams underperformed expectations. The 2007 team was expected by most to beat Arizona and lose in the next round, and the 2008 team was picked by many to at minimum get to the World Series.
Bottom line is that he's got to get us over the hump and none of the moves he has made so far this offseason has made us a drastically better ballclub as of yet...at least on paper.
