Hendry and middle relievers

[Ace]

<!--quoteo(post=88036:date=Apr 11 2010, 03:01 AM:name=BT)-->QUOTE (BT @ Apr 11 2010, 03:01 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Just so I have this straight:

-Hendry is an idiot for signing a veteran like Grabow to a contract that is fairly consistent with the market for veteran left handers, because it's stupid to overpay for veterans.
-Hendry is also an idiot for NOT signing enough veterans, so we are stuck depending on our rookie relievers.
-Hendry is also an idiot for not signing a guy who couldn't make the freaking METS bullpen, and is currently toiling in the minors.

So don't sign veterans, don't rely on rookies, and for God's sake, the answer to our bullpen problems clearly resides on the Mets AAA roster.


Got it.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

It's just the first two. And for the first one, no one else believes Grabow's contract is consistent with what he would have gotten on the open market this season.

Those are the reasons, among others unrelated to the bullpen, Hendry is an idiot.

Got it?
