I blame Hendry way more than I blame Lou for this year to date, and I'm no fan of Lou these days. But while I blame Lou for some things and the players for plenty, obviously, Hendry has made some moves that have crapped all over his face. I still like the job he's done in recent years over all for sure, but he's gone bust on this season so far with the moves. I don't need to list them, we all know them, but if you look just at his main focus in the off season, adding a left handed bat, my god has this been a disaster. And it wasn't a shock that it hasn't worked out either, a lot of people saw it coming.
Anyway, the team has time, and Aram's injury has made a bad situation look much worse, but I would rather the big statement move, if one needs to be made, be trading Bradley somehow or admitting a mistake and re-acquiring Dero before the Cards snagged him-- something personnel based to right a rough off season. Not firing Lou after two division titles and a manager of the year award. It'll just make Hendry look worse.
