Question #5

What about Jim Hendry — should McPhail and the Trib re-up him or is his fate tied with Dusty’s? (Cub Reporter).

I think Jim Hendry's contract should be renewed. Many people have been down on Hendry because of the bullpen and the bench. I look at the players he's brought it. Basically, the Cubs would have no offense if Hendry's trades had not happened: Choi for Lee, Hill for Ramirez, and Miller for Barrett. I think you are rolling your dice every year with a bullpen, see Donnelly, Brendan. I think Hendry deserves to stay in the Cubs organization than Baker does at this point. He even made the biggest deal at the all-star break when he got Matt Lawton. It didn't work out, but at least he tried.
