The Cubs needed a run producer to hit 5th. Abreu or Ibanez (I will give Hendry that he could not know, Dunn would end up in his price range) were better choices. There were many reasons. Bradley could have a blow up, he could be injured, he could be a bad club house influence, he never has been a great run producer and last and least he could have his worse OPS in 8 years.

Hendry is playing it off like "oh yeah, I made a mistake, I never expected him to OPS .775."
