He played in 126 games last season, which is the most since he played in 141 for LA in 2004.
I think that leads to hope that he can be healthy this season and play even more games. And we NEED his OBP, I don't think anyone can complain with .320/.436<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Can he do it for a whole season playing OF in Wrigley as compared to DHing in a very hitter friendly park? I don't know.

I sure hope the fans give him a chance and don't Jaque him out too quickly.

dude, comparing strap to bradley is retarded. no one wanted strap. he was coming off two very subpar years. bradley is coming off a very good year. fans want bradley. no one, except for maybe ruby, wanted strap. no comparison.

I agree there is no comparison of the players themselves. My comparison is the fans behaviour. Bradley is a known hothead. I can't imagine he'd respond well to some of what the fans have done to other players.

I'm hoping Bradley comes out and plays well. If he does that, he will be loved.
