After a couple of solid years, Jim Hendry is back on my shit list.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Hendry has never been on my shit list, but he will be if we start the season with this team.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
wow. seriously?

I just feel that other than the Dempster and Bradley signings, Hendry has made a bunch of lateral or negative moves. I have been a big Hendry fan, but let's face it, he is an average gm when it comes to putting together a team. He's great at getting people to stay in Chicago for lower prices, but that usually comes with the cost of no trade clauses which shackle us in terms of flexibility. Hendry's greatest strength, and what makes him a slightly above average gm, is his ability to inspire loyalty in players because he's a class act. And that's not to be discounted.
But if he had no master plan, he should have left well enough alone this offseason. I have been considering the possibility that Lou is behind some of this shit, but the buck stops with Hendry.
