It certainly wouldn't have hurt to have him. Aside from the few games like today where we got annihilated, several of the other games could've been won with just a timely hit or two with RISP.

Adam Dunn isn't exactly the guy I think of when I want a timely hit or two with RISP. A walk? Maybe.<b> But a timely hitter, Adam Dunn is not.</b>

Yes, I know exactly what you mean, <i>but</i> he sure is knocking in a lot more runs than Bradley is (so far) this year, and just hitting better all around. Dunn has definitely been more of a timely hitter than Bradley thus far, which is sad if you really think about it (since Dunn isn't known to be a timely hitter, as you pointed out). Let's just hope 'ol Milt gets it together soon....

Dunn gets 100 RBI's a year, every year. Not timely, my ass...he gets the job done.
By comparison, DLee has driven in 100 runs <i>once</i> in his entire career.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
