He's gotten more then 415 at bats in a season one time and he's north of 30, no thanks.
Go Gators!
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.

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.
Get Jermaine Dye.
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.
