Just when I was about to write Jim Hendry off, he comes through.
Despite making a horrible trade to acquire a back-up catcher for starter Michael Barrett, Hendry signaled the end of Rob Bowen's stint with the Cubs as the team designated him for assignment earlier today.
The end finally came just minutes ago when the Cubs acquired Jason Kendall from the Oakland A's for Rob Bowen. While Kendall's numbers are down this year, with better speed and a more proven career, I'll take Kendall any day over Bowen. Plus, he should find more motivation to play with the Cubs.
The trade is not the last ingredient in a recipe that guarantees the playoffs, but if nothing else, Hendry finally received the starting catcher due in the Barrett trade.
