Is there anyone on the planet who DIDN'T know Bradley was going to be far more valuable to whomever traded for him than for the Cubs? This was a given.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Uh...didn't you think Seattle fans were saying THE EXACT SAME THING? Ie, "There's no way were getting a fucking thing for Carlos fucking Silva. No way."
Instead, they got a guy who 12 months ago led their league in OPS!
Seattle has a good GM. Deny that.

KB, this is why you drive me absolutely batshit insane. You are myopic beyond comprehension. To wit:
Hendry deals prospects for ARam because the Pirates are desperate to unload salary. Hendry gets what from KB? No credit. "Hey man that doesn't count, the Pirates were desperate to unload salary".
Zduriencik deals Silva to the Cubs for Milton Bradley because the Cubs were desperate to get rid of him. Same situation. What does Zduriencik get from KB? Hey, the exact opposite! He's a good GM. All the credit in the world.
More to the point, KB is polishing the knob of a GM who just threw 30 million dollars at Milton Bradley for 2 years. The same Milton Bradley who Hendry was brain dead to sign last year because everyone knows Bradley can't play more than 50 games a season. Add to that he was bad both on the field and off the field last year, and tell me honestly, if the roles were reversed wouldn't you be screaming bloody murder about Hendry bringing a cancer into the clubhouse, and paying an extra 9 million to do it?
I don't like Jim Hendry all that much. I'll be fine if the Cubs decide to fire him. But for Christ sake, all I have to do is suggest that he doesn't molest special needs children on a daily basis, and compared to you, it looks like I'm in love with the man.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
