Put in the #2 spot in a NL lineup or 6-7 in the AL, he's going to be a great hitter. Yes, he has his issues and has pretty much run himself out of Chicago, but the guy is still a good hitter. His power numbers aren't great, but when you get on base at a .378 clip, you're doing something right. He was just a huge scapegoat for Cubs fans this year.
I don't think we'll run into an issue with interest, but with what we get in return. Every owner knows that Bradley can't stay in Chicago. So they know they can low-ball Hendry. So we'll see what we get out of this. Hopefully Hendry can create a bit of a bidding war between teams with more articles like this.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
i agree with everything you said except for cub fans aking him a scapegoat. would we have had made the playoffs if he played better? probably not, but he was certainly one of the major reasons why.
