Did That Say What I Think It Said?

OK. Speculation is running rampant in Boston about who will replace Theo Epstein. Jim Bowden has interviewed. Theo could return. But, for a Linda Blair moment, check
this article:

The Red Sox, if they were inclined to create a stir, could approach the Cubs about their general manager, Jim Hendry, who has a year left on his contract and has a strong background in player evaluation, a quality (Red Sox CEO Larry) Lucchino values highly.

Were Jim Hendry to leave prior to the start of 2006, only a 130 walk season from Korey Patterson would shock me more.

But someone else thought this a while back. A link on the right goes to MLB4U.com's Unofficial MLB Blog. Burried in that blog was this nugget posted on October 15th. In that list of projected managerial movement, the author predicted that Hendry would be replaced by Jim Bowden for the 2006 season.

This is clearly innuendo sparked by speculation. But it sure is INTERESTING innuendo sparked by speculation.
