I can take the heat. It may be a dumb idea but I can see hyperbole for what it is. There have been LOTS of dumber ideas in the history of the world.
Just to argue the point, though...I don't give a fuck what Bradley and Fukodome are getting paid...or Soriano for that matter...except for how it impacts upon the possibility to get rid of non-performers. It's why we're stuck with Bradley. Soriano can fold towels in the clubhouse for all I care...or could if it didn't still tie up a roster spot.
So maybe not a straight platoon for the rest of the season but why not until Bradley heats up?
What's the argument against Reed getting a full-time job...at least for now, that he can't do it? That he's fragile? That he's too versatile and valuable off the bench?
I'm honestly asking. I'm not a baseball pundit. I'm a Cubs fan.
