With a new owner in place and a disappointing 2009 season in the rearview mirror, speculation is Jim Hendry will have one year to turn things around on the North Side. But asked if he felt like he was "on the clock," the Cubs general manager said he'll approach this offseason like any other.

Approaching this off-season like any other......Oh like 2009, where you dismantled a strong team with 3 bonehead moves. No thanks.

Gregg, Bradley, Miles..........can't imagine why he'd be on the hot seat.

I'm a cubs fan. Been saying it for years. He got Ramirez from the Pirates who were looking to get move him for cheaper, younger talent. And brought Lee over in a if you can't beat 'em, join 'em trade when Florida was dumping payroll. The only sensable moves he made.

Zambrano, Dusty Baker, Juan Pierre, Soriano, Bradley, Fukadome, Gregg in no particular order.

Not A Cubs fan but I believe Santo had a BETTER fielding % than Brooks Robinson, but go ahead tell me again why he's overrated.............

Big j are u a cubs fan? He is the one that use to pitch for the cubs and be in the booth with Harry Caray.. He got fired because he was blasting Dusty baker and the Cubs management

I pray Jumbo is on the hot seat. Like Angelo has done with the Bears, Hendry has made some really ****ed up moves, and we're wondering why he's still with the team.

They couldn't handle hearing the truth and Stone wouldn't sugar coat it like Harry did.
