But the gamble was that he'd play 130 games, and that would appease his dickishness. No one expected him to be relatively healthy and not perform. No one calculated that as part of the risk.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So yes or no: you're saying the primary reason the Cubs had to dump him was because he "didn't perform"?
EDIT: I get what you're really saying. You're saying it was both douchiness and performance. But I'm saying Hendry's quotes - all of them - only focus on performance. And that's wildly, wildly misleading.

Any respectable boss doesn't bash an employee. If he wanted to be Ozzie Guillen and grab a mic spouting such and such about Bradley being a dickhead closet racist who couldn't hit a fat woman with a truck and who cries when he stubs his cooter on a tampon he could have. But in an attempt to save face while being classy he took the higher road. I wish he wouldn't have because it would have been high comedy, but let's get real here.

If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
