<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Do you think Hendry is so stupid, he doesn't know the market as well as a bunch of guys on the Cubs message board? Or do you think he knows the market, but decided to throw away an extra 10-15 million dollars? One of those 2 things has to be true for your argument to be true.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Not necessarily. There's a third thing that could be true. In fact, there are many other things that could be true for my argument to be true. It doesn't have to be those 2 things.
One of those things, in my opinion, is that Hendry tends to set his sights on the player he wants, lowers his head, and charges, full-speed ahead and loses sight of the bigger picture. I'm sure he he has a lot of things on the skillet at once, and wants to seal the deal and move forward. He can get overly aggressive sometimes. Is that stupid? Maybe.
That's how I explain it. I don't think Hendry is an idiot -- but he isn't perfect, and he is prone to these kind of errors.
Hendry has done some good things for this team. There's no denying that. But he also has some irritating flaws. Surely you don't think Hendry *never* makes a mistake?
