3 weeks is only 3 starts, considering he pitched yesterday. Not ideal news obviously, but its nice to know he won't be out too long.

Aside from Abreu, every left handed power OFer got almost the exact same deal. We didn't overpay for Bradley; he, Dunn, and Ibanez signed almost identical deals.

And I don't see Milton Bradley being the type that would settle for much less money to sign with a team. He also said how Derrek Lee and Hendry pretty much convinced him to come to the Cubs, I don't think it's where he zeroed in on coming to at the beginning of the offseason.

The reason it doesn't make sense is because DeRosa got 600 PAs last year and Miles will probably only get 300 this year, if that. If Ramirez stays healthy and Fontenot keeps hitting he may end up with no more than Cedeno had last year. His name may have replaced DeRosa's on the roster, but comparing their production makes zero sense. I've made it very clear I thought the Dero deal was beyond moronic, I still think so and I also agreed it had nothing to do with money. However, I think production wise, we are gonna probably end up the same, considering how many more ABs Fontenot and Hoffpauir will get this year.
