actually, he was pretty decent 3 out of the 4 years with the Twins. He was OK with the Mariner (not worth his contract), then he was awful last year. One good thing about him is he doesn't walk a lot of guys.

Here's my problem. So what if we kept Bradley and he had a bad season next year. In 2011, he'd be playing for a new contract. I don't even think Bradley is stupid enough to not give it his best in a contract year, and he is capable of putting up great offensive numbers, as he did in Texas. Silva, on the other hand, has never even been a remotely good pitcher. We've exchanged a good, possibly great, player with a bad attitude and a bad contract for a bad player with a bad contract who is coming off an injury... I just don't see the logic in it. $6m in savings over 2 seasons isn't going to get us much in return.

Yeah, people always bring up his low BB/9 rate, but the guy gives up a ton of hits. It's either one or the other, and his whip has always been above average.

I wish I was a fan of a real team. This is an absolute joke. The Ricketts family sure is working hard to endear themselves to the fanbase.
Bradley could easily bounce back and have a good, if not great season. Silva? Not a chance.
Fuck me right in the ass.

Someone just posted that he had the highest H/9 rate this decade.

If Silva has recoverd from his injury, he should be a decent 4th or 5th starter. His upside, is a good #3. Not only did Hendry get cash back, but he got a player that could be productive.
I think the worst part, is that now Hendry has saved the money, I wish he still had Cameron to spend it on.
I like you guys a lot.

Sliva's last TWO years, while pitching in the pitcher's haven that is Seattle's home park:
4-15 ERA 6.46
1-3 ERA 8.60
Fuck yeah!

It's funny the way attitudes change. I haven't paid that much attention to this board for the last few months because I don't like to get involved with the 1000 rumors, 7 of which turn out to be true, but at the end of the season nobody was saying Bradley could easily bounce back and have a great season.
This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena. ![[Image: ITgoyeg.png]](http://i.imgur.com/ITgoyeg.png)

I think Silva's "injury" was similar to Aaron Miles' "injuries." In other words, the Mariners made it up so they could put him on the DL.
I appreciate you trying to find the silver lining, Sipes. But there isn't one.

On another team? Lots of people said he could be productive on another team -- just not the Cubs.
I think he could have bounced back with the Cubs, but he'd have to grovel a lot with the fans/players/management...and that was never going to happen. He wanted to leave and he got his wish.

so if that is the case, what did you really expect to get back for him?
