Bradley had one other team offering him more than a 1-year deal (the Rays -- 2/13). Why the fuck did he offer him 3/30? Who was he bidding against? Same deal with Jock Jones. Same deal here. How about Aaron Fucking Miles? I think there's a good chance that Miles doesn't land a major league contract if Hendry didn't snatch him up.

Nobody was going to give up a first round pick for Grabow, so there was absolutely NO reason to not offer him arbitration. Either he accepts, and we sign him for a year or we work out a cheaper deal.

This better be Hendry's last year with this organization. I'm fed up.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


you can say the same thing about soriano too.

that no one was offering him a deal?

That he paid way more (in salary and years) than anyone else was going to.
