Yeah see that's a fair reason to be upset for sure. Although Gregg at that price is a bargain. I don't think Hendry's this stupid though, and people always jump on him for stuff like this and then he comes out with the right decision usually in the end. We're likely saving at least 6 million dollars with this decision for 2009, money we absolutely need it sounds like. Do people legitimately believe Hendry would've done this if he thought Wood would go elsewhere? Give me a break. They obviously were convinced Wood would stay, and if you can't trade him, then you're really fucked. We have little money to work with, it sucks. Hendry would obviously love to have Wood back, he loves the guy like a son. But the bottom line is a big bat is more important to this team than Kerry Wood, and it's quite likely we couldn't have both with the limited amount of money we have. If this were next year, we'd be able to keep Wood I'm sure. This ownership nonsense is fucking us over. Blame them, not Hendry.
