2. Hendry signing Bradley to a 3-year deal: plain stupid, but at least Hendryites could defend it. Maybe Jim, obviously<i> deeply</i> mentally-challenged on matters of money, was unaware that the economy had tanked, and thought signing Dempster and Bradley for roughly double what any other team would have given them was a smart move. Or maybe Bradley promised that he would be really nice to eveyone if Jim coughed up that third year.

3. Hendry signing Bradley to an expensive 3-year deal, then during Year One, shitcanning him, throwing him under the bus, burying him in the media, and completely, thoroughly, and 100% ruining his trade value: Priceless. <i>Classic</i> Hendry.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


#3 is so completely wrong. #3 is the only thing of those scenarios that Hendry did right.

1. Bradley threw himself under the bus.
2. Bradley buried the Cubs in the media, not the other way around.
3. I commend Hendry for having the balls to do what a lot of teams wouldn't do.
