If Hendry likes it, so do I...

Bringing in Jimmy Edmunds, the ex-Cub killer, is a good thing. I would like to see him in the batters box, clutch situation, come through and watch the Wrigley faithful go bananas. Things change over time, team dynamics shift and ultimately it's the GM's job to get the manager what he needs to make positive change happen. Hendry has a solid track record of listening to and delivering based on individual managers would like. Its obvious Pinella was hounding Hendry for a left handed bat to give Fukudome some support against a right handed pitcher. Pie was obviously having a hard time, but maybe he can figure out how to adjust his swing at AAA. Right now, Pie couldn't hit a 14 foot pinata without a blindfold. Edmunds might not have the range he did say, 5 years ago, but I believe what he lacks in speed he makes up for in postioning and jump on the ball. He works the count and drives the ball to the opposite field. He's a gamer, a winner and will bring some veteran stamina to an already confident clubhouse. Adding Edmunds is a good thing. If Hendry likes it, that means Pinella wants it...and so do I. Let's go get Maddux today, end up 3-1 in this series then go seep the Bucs. The Cubs are starting to walk with a swagger...just what Pinella prescribed in the spring...I like what's happening here...
