It's easy to be durable when you're consistently half assing it.

Perhaps Milton should take notes then?

I'll take the guys that are playing hard. You're not going to win any titles without that.
And Milton plays hard, but he's just fragile and gets hurt in just about any way possible. He tore his ACL arguing with an umpire. I don't think him playing at about 75% is really going to keep him healthy.

Clapp--you've been pretty consistent in advocating Bradley as the spark for the post season. How in the hell can we even count on him to be healthy at that particular time? If we even make it.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
We can't and I've said that from the beginning, it's a coin flip. I'll take that gamble though. If he can't be healthy, hopefully Kosuke keeps this up. If we clinch a couple weeks early(I know you're laughing Butch, just throwing this scenario out there) like last year, I'd prefer we sit Bradley a good amount of that time.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah, but the point is, you can sit him all you want and he can pull a groin in his first at bat.

I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.
