Balta1701 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I know there were more than a few people here who liked him as a backup option for the Sox...so to shoot that idea down... Blanco signs 2 year extension with Cubs. The Chicago Cubs and backup catcher Henry Blanco agreed to a $5.25 million, two-year contract Wednesday with an option for 2009. Blanco batted .266 in 74 games last season. He served as a backup to Michael Barrett and filled in when Barrett missed most of the last month after being hit in the groin with a foul tip.

He would of been a nice right handed bat to complement AJ in the catchers position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, Hendry doesn't care about these contracts, only the players. Hendry has 2 years left until his contract is out, and he's depserate considering how bad their organization is personnel wise right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
