And he continues to take BB like crazy.

If he can continue to draw walks, see lots of pitches and hit for some power, I'll be extremely pleased with Bradley. I just haven't seen much power yet.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Didn't you just love how Morgan and Miller kept talking about Bradleys BB's like they're a problem?

I don't think they were entirely wrong though. When a clean up hitter goes to the plate looking for a walk, rather than intending to drive in runs, he's in the wrong spot in the order. A walk is great, but it depends greatly where you are in the order. If there is a runner on 2nd and Fontenot or Baker or Soriano is following you in the order, I'd rather have Bradley hit the ball. If he's hitting 1st or 2nd with DLee or ARam following him, I'll take the walk.
