If he was dl'd until mid to late August and then finished the season with an incredible 35 games, plus playoffs. Without the 13 million 3rd year, Bradley's deal is fine. I am fine with Lee. .300 w/ 15 HRs the rest of the way is realistic.
I really hated the Soriano deal. It pissed me off so much that for three years Hendry did not think the guy was worth trading Pie and/or Hill for, and then is willing to pay him 136 million. So far, I have been wrong.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't mind Soriano as much as the Bradley deal. The problem with Soriano though is that he is not a playoff leadoff hitter. You need that score first, timely offense to win in the playoffs. And his swooping swing isn't going to get that done. I don't mind his play if he was considered a middle of the order guy.
