There are incentives that could take the deal higher but that's all that is guaranteed.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Wow. That makes the Bradley deal look really awful.

Good thing we traded DeRosa to free up some cash for Bradley. Hendry has don a lot this season to piss away the goodwill he has earned in the last 3-4 years. Maybe all of his moves work out. Maybe DeRosa starts to regress and one of the pitchers we got turns into gold. Maybe Bradley stays healthy and plays like he did last year. Who knows. But I'm seriously beginning to think hendry's been smoking something. Did he even talk to Abreu?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Of course not, because Abreu wanted 3 years and 15 million per at the time. Nobody could've predicted the offseason would go like this.

Exactly...if Hendry had been sitting on his hands at this point, you guys would be bitching about him doing nothing. I don't like the DeRosa trade, either...but, I do understand that he felt the need to play his hand at the time.
We don't have a fly on the wall...we don't know the absolute inside dope.
As always, it seems with many that the best way to be an expert...is to be a critic.
