That's far above average -- especially for a CF. He hit 19 homers in 85 games. I think it's possible that you're forgetting how good Edmonds was as a Cub. In fact, Edmonds' slugging percentage was better than any other hitter on our team (including Ramirez and Soriano).<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Bradley/Fuk/Johnson > Edmonds/Fuk/Johnson

The production is just gonna be coming primarily from RF instead of CF.

Did you really need to include the /Fuk/Johnson to both sides of the equation?

Are you saying that Bradley is a better hitter than Edmonds? Yes, he is. But not by as much as you guys seem to think. We got a ton of production out of Edmonds during his short time with us.

Bradley is leaps and bounds better than Edmonds, he was arguably the best offensive player in the MLB last season, it's not close.
