Elijah Dukes - Andy - 03-17-2010
Released by the Nats today. Is he worth a minor league contract? Or is it a bad sign when the worst team in baseball has no interest in him?
Elijah Dukes - Clapp - 03-17-2010
Always looking to acquire class acts. And nothing says class act like sending your wife texts threatening to kill her.
Elijah Dukes - rok - 03-17-2010
Fuck him. We have a glut of OFs anyway, and especially after the Milton experiment, he is a bad fit.
Elijah Dukes - AnnoCatuli - 03-17-2010
I agree with Rok. While Dukes is not as bad as bradley, he isnt far off.
Though, he might be worse, because I dont recall bradley ever striking his wife or threatening to kill her
Elijah Dukes - jstraw - 03-17-2010
Come on guys, everyone deserves a 22nd chance.
Elijah Dukes - funkster - 03-17-2010
Yeah as everyone already said, best to stay away from this.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec--><b>June – July 2005:</b> This period may be the darkest and least-funny time in Bradley’s career. Police were called to his home on three separate occasions in response to 911 calls from his pregnant wife, who he allegedly slapped around and choked. He was arrested, but no charges were filed. Bradley called 911 himself at least once, but officers left without incident once they spoke to both him and his wife.

I was not aware of those incidents until Clapp posted the first link.

Wow I didn't realize that either. What a complete waste of life.
Elijah Dukes - AnnoCatuli - 03-17-2010
Was not aware of that. Thanks for filling me in Biggz.
He and Dukes are two of a kind

Maybe his wife was wearing a corn cob dress?
