We've all been scratching our heads for 6 months now, and I'd like to know what in the hell was the thinking behind that stupendously stupid move.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Jim Hendry
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->"Mark's a terrific guy and he was a good player for us. But the thinking in the winter was that we already had five right-handed hitters penciled in that weren't going anywhere. And we were concerned with how [Kosuke] Fukudome was going to come back [as a left-handed power hitter]. ... If he hadn't come back well and we kept Mark, we were probably looking at seven out of eight right-handed hitters every day in the lineup. Then we would have that issue again. Nobody likes to lose a guy like [DeRosa]," said Hendry. "But there wasn't anywhere else to get left-handed, you know.."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

That's like trading Frank Robinson because "we're going young. And he's old."
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
