This is why Hendry is retarded:
1. Siging an injury-prone malcontent to an expensive THREE year deal. The odds of this blowing up were extremely high. If you take the risk you do it for one year, not three. Way too much risk compared to not enough potential reward.
2. Expecting Bradley to be a run producer instead of a table setter. This is partly on Lou too. Bradley has never been a guy to drive in a ton of runs or even hit with a ton of power. His OBP is way too high and slugging too low to not bat at the top of the order.
3. Destroying Bradley's trade value by bashing him in the media during the season and suspending him (even though he deserved it).
