Time to Waive goodbye

As one other blogger mentioned recently, hopefully the K man will do just well enough to get himself traded. I agree whole-heartedly. While we're at it, go ahead and put Walker, Burny, Holly, Macias and Nomar on the Waiver wire. I love Nomar and wish he had been a cub in his prime, but its time to get value out of him in another player since we have gotten little out of him as a player. This team needs to change its dimensions, or at least one of them and that's age. See what you can get for these guys and lets BUILD a team with youth and talent. I think Lawton is a keeper and once Baker is gone Murton will be an everyday player. I think Hairston should get a shot at every day 2B when he comes back. An infield of Cedeno, Hairston, Lee and ARam really wouldn't be the worst thing ever.

I look around the league and see all of these players that could have ben had who could have helped the team this year and the only real thing we can say about this past offseason is that We got Burnitz to replace Sosa. Think about these players and the impact they're having on their teams while the cubs went for Old, Slow and Impatient ummm.... Home Run Hitters?

Eric Byrnes
Guillen, the one on the Nationals who likes to fight people
Jason Kendall. faster, and more selective than Barret.
David Eckstein, Orlando Cabrera, Renteria, take your pick
MATT CLEMENT... (reason number one of many to also fire Hendry)
Any of the Devil Rays OF if we just offered them a Bag of Cheeto's in return
and honestly this is without me doing any sort of research on the subject.

Let's all please hope that Hendry saying its not Dusty's fault is just smoke screening for the firing that should happen before the end of the season. He is too stubborn to "give up" and let Cedeno and Murton play and hence he needs to be fired before he ruins another young position player.
