Is Lou assuming that he'll be able to take some walks? Fuk does have a good eye, but why would a MLB pitcher nibble on the corners with him when he can't hit a basic strike?
Has Hendry never heard the term "sunk cost?" Like every GM, he's made some good moves and some bad ones; obviously throwing $48 million at Fuk was a <i>real</i> bad one.
But accept it and move on, dammit. The Tigers just ate Sheffield's 14 million. A few years ago, the D-Backs gave some washed-up pitcher 32 mil/4 yrs, watched him suck for a year, then smartly ate the rest of the deal.
Part of being a real man is owning up to your mistakes. Every inning Fuk plays in a Cub's baseball game is an inning that we play worse than we would have if our goal was to field the best team possible.
Stop dicking around...eat the remaining wasted dollars, and play someone who actually gives a fuck.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Are you honestly proposing to get rid of Fuk right now?
