Uh-oh. Hendry may be about to do it again.

Cubs' GM Jim Hendry, who almost single-handedly ruined last season and turned a two-time defending division champion into an also-ran (he did have some help from Cub regulars who inexplicably forgot how to hit during the NLDS a year ago, and still haven't remembered), may be about to ruin the next ten or twelve seasons at a single swoop.

Hendry is reported to be aggressively pursuing Detroit center fielder Curtis Granderson.

Fair enough. Granderson would help the Cubs in several important ways. But talk is that he'll be offering a "prospect-heavy" deal- and if it includes either shortstop Starlin Castro or third baseman Josh Vitters, who should be the left side of the Cubs' infield for the next decade, I'm done with them.

Castro and Vitters are two of the top prospects in all of baseball, and as much as I'd love to see them land Granderson, he simply isn't worth either one of them. And if either one of them goes to Detroit for Granderson or anybody else, my disgust quotient will simply blow the top off the meter.

And after fifty-two years as a Cub fan, my capacity for disgust is obviously rather high. Perhaps too high. Perhaps all of us have put up with too much for  too long.

Better Texas's Marlon Byrd, who is also available, in center field and both Castro and Vitters still Cub property than two such key prospects gone even for someone who can help the Cubs in as many ways as Granderson might.
