Dear Mr. Hendry

Dear Mr. Hendry, in case you haven't noticed, you STILL have a gaping hole in Right Field. Did you close your eyes and hope that it would fill itself? Were you and Dusty trying to convince each other that John Mabry could be an every day player?? Or, are you petitioning Bud's office to change the rules only requiring 8 fielders? Now is not the time for queasy stomachs. Last time I looked this is your last year to make something big happen and if it were my job on the line, and I had a good deal of cash still on reserve, I'd be pulling all the stops. Its been said before that Prior has not yet had one full healthy season. He's a little older than Z and is clearly not as durable. So if there is someone out there that can be had by offering up Cedeno, Prior, Hill, Walker, in any combination, that deal has to be done. Use Priors money to land another Quality, DURABLE Starter, and use the rest for that Gaping hole in Right, and that other Furcal Sized one in the infield.

Now, if you have finally woken up, you'll notice that Jaque Jones will not be returning to the twins. He bats lefty, has speed, and is a tremendous fielder and his Career Stats are pretty outstanding.
Plus, and here's the good part, he only made $5 Mill last year. But hey, we here in the Cubs Blogosphere don't need to point out who's available and what their stats are....... Do We??

i would agree with all but two things. first, i am not ready to give up on prior yet. also, jones has a horrible obp. i don't think it would benefit the team to have another poor on base guy
