Hendry still working, i think


At ChicagoSports.com Hendry was quoted saying.....

"I'll just try to add some offensive help where it makes sense," he said. "You can't pigeonhole yourself and say, 'I need a left-hand hitting third baseman that can hit between Mo [Alou] and Sammy [Sosa]. Those things don't fall in your lap."

Well a few things have fallen in Hendrys lap over the course of the last year and passed them by. I still dont trust a thing coming out of his mouth. I have been let down too many times in Hendrys short stint as GM to believe anything he says. To me it just sounds like Andy speaking thru Jim. Same old BS.

And at the end of the article.......

Hendry wouldn't discuss names, but with Cincinnati slumping and center fielder Ken Griffey Jr. out for the rest of the season, there's some feeling that Reds third baseman Aaron Boone will soon be available.

Now thats probably the best option available on the market, and Cincy needs major pitching help so it makes sense to deal with them and vice versa. Provided Boone is even available ofcourse. If the Cubs do get anyone it will likely be right around July 31st. And probably someone out of the blue who we havent even talked about.
