inside hendry mind......

heres what im thinking ( hopeing ) hendry has up his sleeves..   it may be possible he has 2 starters on his " to get " list. one being harden and the other may be burnett or wolf..   my guess he figured why give up all his prospects on 1 guy when he can give up basically the same amount and get 2 starters.

im all for zambrano, dempster , and lilly.. sabathia would have been nice but i think hendry and lou are looking to rid of marquis and would like a veteran in the 5 hole over marshall and gallagher.. if the prices are right, id rather see harden and burnett in our rotation over sabathia and either marquis,marshall, or gallagher this year...

I agree with Ok_Cubsfan...two would be nice but I think we only need one.  I for one would be more than happy if we find someone to replace marquis and keep Marshall in the 5 spot.  I don't trust Marquis down the strecth let alone in a playoff game!  While a healthy Harden would make our rotation much better I think harden, burnett, or wolf would be an upgrade at this point.  Right now the Cubs are going to feel the pressure to make a move after the Brewers got Sabathia.  Hopefully Hendry can pull the trigger and bring in one of these starters for the second half!

We have a big 5 game stretch here of home games before the All Star break...looking at the Cubs schedule following the break I think we need to take at least 4 out of 5 against the Reds and Giants going into the break.
