    nobody said average means nothing. it means something because it brings other numbers up. also nobody said anything close to what you said about ops btw, that hitter would still have an .800 ops

    I'm having a tough time determining if you're really an annoyingly repetitive, flame-baiting junk poster, or just being facetious. Can you help clarify? both

    Oh, like I said. Carry on there, Dex. except you used rbi's and batting average to show that he hasn't hit I didn't feel the need to post all of his sorry ass stats. the rest of his stats? you mean the stats that actually mean something and show that he hasnt been very good? we do know, and everybody is agreeing that he has been a disappointment. i don't see how you're not getting this

    is that where you take a dump in your pants while running the bases

    because he hasn't hit you can hit for poor average and still be a productive hitter. you can have low rbi totals and still be a productive hitter. end yourself

    what is ops i dont remember the exact equation, you'll have to ask meph but it's something like 2x(RBI+GW RBI)/race(-1 for black)+(meaningless home runs)x(hustle/pant legs(up or down)) man i just though of a perfect acronym for ops re: bradley but it's way to racist too post

    NOBODY IS SAYING ANYTHING CLOSE TO THAT we're just making fun of you and your horrible usage of statistics
  11. 17 Seconds
    do you really not realize that the people who make fun of you aren't milton bradley apologists, but rather are making fun of you for your usage of a meaningless statistic like rbi's? yes, bradley has been a big dissapointment, but there are numbers out there that actually show that. rbis do not. Oh, I see kinda you missed the batting avg and HR part of the equation. Not to mention his sad attitude. But yea, carry on. once again you miss the point. i'm not saying bradley has been good.

    "even more"?
  17. 17 Seconds
    Yeah but Jones was also a much more frustrating player, with his constant throws into the dirt, soriano-esque at-bats, and baserunning blunders. He seemed like a likeable guy, but not a likeable players. Burnitz kind of just sucked and was there. plus, most of his boos came in 2007, when he was really crappy and well below expectations.
  18. 17 Seconds
    Did Jeromy Burnitz ever get booed in 2005? everybody knew burnitz would suck when we signed him heilman gets booed. miles gets booed. howry got booed. marquis got booed. Fair enough. Not saying I agreed with Bradley, just pointing out an example of a RF in the very recent past that was bad but seemed like he got a free pass from the Wrigley faithful. offensive players usually only get booed at wrigley when they perform below expectations. if bradley was just a stop gap type guy who signed a small contract, he probably wouldn't be getting booed right now. they would have expected this production. that wasn't the case though. people expected big things from bradley, and have been disappointed. that's when the booing occurs.

    What were his postgame comments tonight?

    If that's your opinion, fine, and it may very well be correct. I'm just saying that some of the people who are claiming that his contract is untradeable are also saying it would be stupid to move it if the opportunity presented itself. It's like "oh well he's still productive enough to want to keep that contract.....but only if you're the Cubs. No way another team would take that on. It's good for the Cubs though." You think it's untradeable? Fine. Just don't say that and then in the next sentence say how it makes sense for the Cubs to keep the contract. It doesn't go both ways. Either it's a desirable contract or it's not. That's what doesn't make sense. I literally suggested the "we could eat part of it" thing ONCE, and I was only half serious about it in the first place. I don't really see this wavering that you talk about. I also never pretended that we could dump him. I simply expressed that I'd like to, and then questioned the people who blasted me for wanting to get rid of it.

    because the cubs are the ones already holding the risk. other teams have the option of taking on that risk at $10M per year for 2 years, or leaving it. they'd be wise to leave it since he's often injured and often an a-hole. lol what? your argument makes no sense whatsoever. what does it matter who is "holding the risk" right now? when the offseason arrives, you're talking about a player at 2/20. that 2/20 contract is exactly the same to the cubs as it is to any other team. it's milton bradley at 2/20, period. if it would be "wise to leave it since he's often injured and often an a-hole", then that goes for the cubs too.

    it's not that bad as far as his production, but given his demeanor, relatively poor season (except for OBP) and injury history, he's a significant risk and nobody is going to take on his contract at full value. And they're wrong to not want to take that on? what are you talking about? who said it was wrong for nobody to want milton's contract? just saying that you seem to think it would be stupid for the cubs to rid themselves of bradley and his contract, but then you also say it would be nearly impossible to do it. if it's a contract that you think is worth keeping, why wouldn't any other teams think the same thing?

    his ops is up to .738 it would be the perfect capper to this nightmare season if he ended the year with an ops of like .800
  25. 17 Seconds
    yeah plus aramis got hurt with no reasonable backup to be found, fontenot tanked and soto either sucked or was hurt. that's a lot of bad production from a number of positions and we don't have a monster like pujols to carry the lineup. It was a pretty awful cocktail of obvious things (fontenot, lack of health/depth at corner IF/OF positions) going wrong, and not so obvious things (Harden being healthy-ish but no good for so long, Marmol's wildness, Soriano falling apart, Soto sucking, etc..) going wrong. I'm really ready for this year to be over with. oh man, i almost forgot how bad fontenot was this year and how they were counting on him. whoops. bradley miles dempster gregg heilman fontenot those were the guys that hendry basically banked on last offseason (meaning guys he either signed, traded for, or gave starting jobs to to fre up payroll). man, crash and burn. 2 slightly above average seasons and 4 huge failures
