all i can say is hendry must be fired. This team's struggles are his fault. Why the fuck did he basically just trade DeRosa for Ryan Freel. And this piece of shit bullpen he has put together. WTF???????????? He either better get peavy right now or clean out his desk because he made nothing but awful moves this offseason and then admitted it when trading for a poor man's Mark Derosa the other day. Agggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
You're right about DeRosa. I said at the time, that it was a mistake to trade him, as he provided protection at so many different positions. Freel is okay, but I had not wanted DeRosa gone. I said during the winter, that they should have gone after Furcal to play SS and Brian Roberts to play 2nd, trade Theriot and Lee, along with either Marshal or Marquis, to get Roberts. Then put Hoffpauir at first and have 2 jack-rabbits to bat 1-2. I never would have targeted Bradley (though I'm sure he WILL hit) but Abreau or Ibanez. The releif corps have put the Bull in Bullpen we have. Where I differ with you in your post, is that I do NOT want Peavy. Too many injuries in the past 2 years and an ERA away from Petco, that is not very good. They need to upgrade the bullpen instead.
