Only kidding (inside joke)...well, forget about A.J. Asswipe catching for us. He was traded to the Giants for Joe Nathan, Boof Bonser and another lower-level pitcher. A few things, starting with how the hell Boof Bonser got his name? Do we even want to know? I know I wouldn't feel comfortable rooming with someone named "Boof"... Next, Hendry did try for this guy, but his offer of Juan Cruz and Andy Sisco was turned down. Nathan won 12 games with a under-3 ERA last year. So, I agree, the Giants offered more. But my gripe is this: if this was the guy Hendry wanted, WHY didn't HE offer more? Obviously he was part of the plan. We have buttloads of prospects...why is he being so stingy? Don't TELL me Hendry is already being outbid for talent!!! I'm not really interested in this guy to begin with. But Hendry was, and that's the point. 1) Have a plan 2) Do whatever it takes to pull it off, be it money, trade bait, etc. 3) Stick with it
