well, the yankees hired Jerry Krause as a scout too lol.

They seem to like our castoffs. They took Rothschild last year too.

That's because Rothschild was and is a very good pitching coach.

And Rothschild left, so wouldn't the Cubs be HIS castoff?

Good God, let's please mire in minutiae and argue semantics.

Hendry's background is in scouting, and according to most industry types, hes a rather good one. Good hire by the Yanks.

Exactly...

People forget that before Hendry took the reigns as GM, he was the Director of Player Personnel and Scouting Director for the Cubs. Hendry was responsible for the Cubs solid farm system in the early 2000's, and was the man responsible for the Cubs' solid farm system during that time (which was later sold off in pieces for guys like Juan Pierre).

At least Hendry isn't in the position of making decisions.
