I agree. Same thing happened with DLee..... who now sucks again.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
He hit 32 homers(career high), 98 RBI(career high), had an .860 OPS, and was in the prime of his GG days. I'm having a hard time seeing how he sucked.

He didn't have a bad year, but had a bad start. Remember all the Hee Sop Choi chants from the fans who were upset about the trade? His April was miserable and his May was meh.

I wasn't trying to knock Lee (except for his curent performance). I was adding to the point that most high profile guys we get struggle at the start. Add Crime Dog to that list too if I recall correctly. Hopefully Bradley gets if going on the upcoming homestand.
