    Why do you say that? Is it his attitude or his injury history?

    The attitude is trash. That's the main reason. This is a young team and they shouldn't be subjecting the likes of Bruce, Votto, Volquez, Cueto and everyone else to this guy.

    There's a reason why this guy is going on his 7th franchise by the age of 31.

    Add in the injury risk and he shouldn't even be on the board.

    That was Jurassic Carl(AKA Crazy Carl)Everett. But I can definitely see why you'd get them mixed up.

    The thinking would be that Dusty Baker could keep him under control being the "players manager" that he is. There is no way around the injury bug though. That is definitely a valid concern.

    I'm fairly responsible, and I attribute a lot of that to learning what not to do from watching my father. I don't think having a guy like Bradley around is as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. It could help the young guys in the long run. :

    Milton rejected a 1 year offer from Texas. He is looking for a multiyear deal, but 2 years with a option for a third might be enough.

    aaah, yes; thank you. I have updated my files with this information!
    I just didn't want to have Jay Bruce running around out there not believing in dinosaurs. My fears in that regard are now at rest.

    I wanted him last year when he was cheaper. Now, with his cost significantly higher (plus his attitude problems), I'm not so sure.
    “I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

    I think the clubhouse issue isn't an issue at all. Bruce, Votto, Volquez, Cueto and all the rest are adult's, not teenager's. I can't see them turning into bad apple's because Bradley might or might not be a headcase.

    The injury concerns are an issue, but at some point this team has to take a risk. Give me his 400 AB's and crappy attitude any day of the week over some of the other alternative's. The guy can hit. We need hitter's. Match made in heaven as far as I'm concerned.

    I get them mixed up too. Not sure why.

    I have two fears about Bradley. One his reputation, fair or not. Second is his durability.
    However, it would be kind of cool to have Milton Bradley play the same position Yatzee once played.

    There is a reason why guys like Bradley, TO, Moss and others get passed from team to team while mostly producing along the way. They aren't worth it, even when they are producing.
