Back to Loretta?

The Chicago Sun Times is saying Hendry is back on the trail of getting Mark Loretta.

"Loretta won't come cheap, and he might be overpriced in the big picture because his .310 batting average ranks 15th in the National League. But since the Cubs' offense has needed a boost at third base for, oh, about 30 years, time's a-wastin'"

"In previous talks, the snag was Towers' insistence on Hendry taking a high-priced pitcher--thought to be Kevin Jarvis--as well as Loretta. Sometimes that extra money dump works out for the club on the receiving end, but not often. Hendry is not in the market for overpriced pitching risks."

I have warmed to the idea of Loretta in the last week or so. If he can keep his avg around .300 he should be able to bring a good #2 or #1 bat to the order.
But Hendry isnt in the market for overpriced pitching risks? What was Alfonseca? Or an ageing Remlinger? Or even Estes? I think Hendry is in love with over priced pitching risks to be honest.
