<{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->It's time for Lou and the Cubs to finally do what's right for this team. Bradley has no business batting in the middle of the order. He doesn't drive runs in even when he is hitting well. He is not hitting for any power. He doesn't provide good defense. The Cubs have to make a decision to play Hoff and Fox in Right despite them maybe even being worse defensively than Bradley.
This team is missing offense. That has been our biggest clunker this year.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You can play somebody else against righties but not against lefties. Bradley came in hitting .303 at home this year too.

I'm all for him batting against the Lefties. But this shit when he bats lefty and just looking pathetic has got to stop.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I know this isn't a good argument, but we aren't going to sit a $10mil man 5 days/week to only face lefties. It just isn't realistic.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Teams seemingly are making this decision more than usual. Sheffield is an example. The big sticking point is probably that Bradley now has two more guranteed years after this year. This seems like a lost year for Bradley. I just don't wanna it to be a lost year for the Cubs.
