If you talk to Chicago Cubs fans about Jim Hendry, most will shudder at the mere mention of his name. There was much turmoil under Hendry when he was the General Manager on the north side and many questionable decisions under his guise.
One such deal was that involving a young Class-A catcher named Josh Donaldson. The 2008 Cubs were a monster team. They finished the regular season 97-65, winning the National League Central by 7 1/2 games. Unfortunately, they were no match for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Division Series as they were swept right out of their shoes.
