You could question if it’s the wrist or maybe something else. You know what I’m talking about. Nothing has ever been said about Lee and you know what, but in today’s game, anything is possible.
Also, he came from Pro Player’s Stadium in Florida that was a ‘Death Valley’ for sluggers, and he still averaged close to 27 homers with the fish. He had two fine seasons with the Cubs after coming over, including a career year in 2005 when he belted forty-six dingers.
But he has dropped off since, and you have to wonder.
It’s still another winner on Jim Hendry’s scorecard.
He also stole Mark Grudzielanek and Eric Karros from the Dodgers for the beleaguered Todd Hundley. They helped lead the Cubs to the playoffs in that 2003 season.
Yet again, this was a trade that was considered let me trade my garbage for your garbage. Grudzielanek and Karros weren’t garbage; just overpaid veterans the Dodgers were trying to dump.
Hundley was overpaid garbage.
Another winner for Hendry.
Last year after the Brewers secured C.C. Sabathia, Hendry countered by getting injury prone Rich Harden for some non-descript players. Harden has pitched very well for the Cubs and this was a nice move by him.
