So that makes 6 of 7 Hendry seasons that our OBP has sucked.
The one time it was good, we won 97 games.
I think Jim's job is safe, though. This is a sport that employs Trey Hillman and Dusty Baker in important, high-profile jobs. It'll probably be 2025 before those type of guys are extinct in the game.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This team *should* have had a very good OBP. It didn't work out that way.
I don't think Hendry will be around next season, but that's only because I believe Ricketts wants to put his own stamp on this franchise -- not necessarily because Ricketts thinks he sucks.
That's just my opinion.
