    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.

    Okay you're right. Bradley was an .890 OPS guy from 04-08. Except in 2004 and 2005 and 2006 and he only played like 2 months n 07 but dude was .890 opsing it like crazy 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.

    His career numbers are mediocre (at best, for a corner outfielder) and the arguments for him being a great hitter all revolve around a few different chunks of at-bats over the course of his career, and I'm the one cherry picking stats? Righhttttttttt When you want to grow up and have a reasonable discussion using grown up logic, let me know.

    it's .890 (.292/.390/.500) over the last five seasons. his age 22 suckitude means diddly poo; why you choose to continually embarrass yourself by citing career numbers is puzzling. Uhh, maybe it has something to do with the fact that he's played to those career numbers for many of the last several years. As in 2004, 2005, 2006, and part of 2007. Saying he's been an .890 OPS guy for the last 5 seasons is pretty ridiculous. He's been a 1.000 OPS hitter for the last 600 at-bats (before this season) spread out over the least 2 season and then played to his career totals the previous 3 seasons. for the better part of the last 5 years, he's played to his career totals. i just keep reading the phrase played to his career totals, whatever the hell that even means wait facts are ridiculous? It's obnoxious and misleading, and you know it. He hasn't been an .890 OPS guy for the last 5 seasons. He had a monster month or 2 in San Diego and then a monster 420 at-bats in texas. The previous 3 years he sucked.

    Eff it. Just throw Fox at third. Right now the garbage we're running out there has been terrible on both sides of the ball from that position. It's at the point where I don't even care. I'm just sick of seeing the same garbage that we're rotating between 3b and 2b every day right now.

    You act like last year was a fluke year, yet he's had 3 seasons of over .900 OPS, and had a 1.004 OPS with the Padres of all teams in the 42 games he played there. Come on. You can't just say "he's had 3 season with an OPS over .900." In 2007 he had only 144 at-bats. In 2003 he had 377. Last year he had 414. That's not even 2 full seasons worth of at-bats, let alone 3. Bottom line is he has a career .823 OPS in like 3,000 at-bats. I just don't understand why everybody was so sure he'd be awesome. I though he'd be pretty good, but not some middle of the lineup force. Just a switch hitting bat who can hit .850+ from both sides of the plate. Milton Bradley career OPS as a lefty- .798

    http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/may/20/n70258234820-peavy-trade-chicago-white-sox-may-be-/ Buster Olney also just mentioned it on ESPN and said he thinks it will probably get done.

    Almost blew another one tonight. Walked the bases loaded to put the tying run at 3rd with 1 out but then struck the next 2 out. He looked really weird without the goatee. It reminded me of the 20 K game.

    If he was consistently that good he would be a hall of fame caliber player so clearly it was an outlier season for him. But we are comparing him to Jacque Jones and David Delucci and I will be comfortable with him on my team any day over those two. The point is that none of the 3 have had very good careers yet bradley was talked about as some stud hitter all offseason

    So you don't think Bradley's .999 OPS last season in Texas was a fluke, even though he's a career .825 OPS guy?
  17. 17 Seconds
    i know. that's what we said. Yea I dont know what else you would call it. it's the same thing with his constant hit and runs when we're not scoring, calling out guys when they have one bad game, trying soriano out of the leadoff spot multiple times but only for a game or 2 (and then claiming he actually tried it), bencing good hitters because they make a defensive mistake even though the alternative is clearly worse, etc....

    I've been saying it for a while. Lou is a panic machine, and that's the last thing this team needs. It's not surprising that his teams keep choking in the playoffs. He just keeps getting worse and worse as he gets older.

    this guy can rake! .999 ops last season! please stay healthy milton! forget his career .825 OPS.... this guy is a force!

    I feel sad watching Wood in Cleveland. He's had a rough go of it. Tonight he blew another game... this time blowing a 3 run lead by giving up 4. Went like this- Ground out HR HR Walk Triple Sac Fly :(

    lol sure he is. that was not a risk, it was a stupid ass play. there were 3 guys right in his face. the funny thing is that if he didn't have his standard blowout (seriously, is there a skater who has them more frequently than brian campbell?) he still probably would have been able to get back and prevent the 3rd skater from scoring
