How dare you respond to him with nothing of substance.

[cubswin2009]

Awwww, you guys are so grumpy. This is adorable.

We sold key players from a 97 win team last year for a guy hitting below the Mendoza Line.

[TruffleShuffle]

yes let's trade him for juan pierre, that guy is raking. i'd rather have a guy who is hitting great RIGHT NOW than a guy who is underperforming and hitting line drives at people.

They only "sold" one, and he's having a pretty crappy year himself.

I'd rather have 2006 Juan Pierre at this point than Milton Bradley

Sorry man, this team just can't handle the big show.

This whole offseason was about saving money to throw at Milton Bradley. And while DeRosa is having a crappy year, it's his first year in the American League. Not used to the pitching.

show me where he said bradley has been an .890 ops guy on the road for the past 5 season

 

also show me how many at-bats those totals are for. like 200 a year?

 

okay, okay. this dude is awesome.

 

but only sometimes

 

and only on the road

 

and that's only for small chunks of at-bats.

 

 

 

seriously though, it shouldn't surprise me that you're defending him so hard and acting like he's some badass hitter. you were the one who kept saying he was hands down our best hitter before the season (ahead of ramirez) even though bradley has clearly been a mediocre hitter for his career. it was all "his early career numbers were when he was a different hitter. for the last 2 seasons he's clearly found it".

 

now 2 months into the season and this guy looks absolutely brutal and we're still trying to rationalize.

 

the bottom line is when you have career numbes as mediocre as bradley does and you're sturggling this much this deep into the season, you're probably not going to have a good year.

Just keep your head up guys, and go get 'em next time. If we win,we are getting some Dairy Queen.

This is not Mark DeRosa's first year in the AL.

oh right because they pitch the ball cricket-style in the american league, i can see why that requires a huge adjustment.

This is not Mark DeRosa's first year in the AL.

That's right he played in Texas. His first year with Texas: .243 batting average. 2nd year: .296

 

I doubt Mark puts up these numbers if we bring him back this year.

i wouldnt go that far

[17 Seconds]

oh and since the only argument for bradley's career poor numbers is playing in bad parks

 

career home- .810

career road- .833

 

i guess he was just unlucky in those 1611 at-bats.

 

 

look, i'm not saying bradley is awful. i actually thought he'd be pretty good (i said .885ish OPS before the season started) but i also was very worried and wasn't sure why everybody thought it was such a sure thing that he'd rake. he has been inconsistent, at best, over his career. i wasn't only worried about his health and his head, i was worried about how good he might be.

 

when you give 30 mil to a guy who can't stay on the field and is a headcase, he should be a better bet to be good than bradley is. bradley is a question mark all around.

[Sammy Sofa]

So you can't use anything except career numbers?
