I don't understand what problem people have with Jim Hendry. I really don't. Time and time again, he seems to get guys who can be very helpful to the team. Not all of his acquisitions have been spectacular, but there isn't one GM in baseball who is perfect.
The problem with the Cubs is the poor and uninspired coaching.
They definitely have the talent, but they've passed up on some talent also.
I think with a new manager, they can turn their season around. They're only 8 games out.
