How? Everything about Bradley is right on at least. Over 400 at bats twice in 8 years, causing trouble when he's actually healthy pretty much every year. Nobody doubts he's a great talent but if you aren't very concerned about these things, you're not being realistic at all.

It has little to do with what you think about Bradley (although the predictions about how his season will go are a bit out of hand). I more have a problem with a fact that you're basically going off about two moves THAT HAVEN'T EVEN HAPPENED YET!

All we have to go off of so far is basically guessing by the media. The way that last post went, I would have guessed we already signed Aurilia and Bradley and traded for Peavy.

Just take it easy man. Things will shape up soon enough and then you can flip out if you like. I just see your mind going a million miles a hour and just think you're putting yourself through too much when nothing has happened.

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] This organization will never have me calm. We're the joke of sports, there's nothing to be relaxed about. Until we win a game in October, I don't care if we go 162-0, this is how I'm gonna be.
I do trust Jim Hendry though, so I don't think he'll trade DeRosa... we'll see. And if we sign Bradley I'll definitely give Bradley a chance and think he's a great player, I'm just expecting it to be a disaster.

As for Ibanez, my eyes watching him play last year told me he's got 2-3 more good seasons left. He's been rock solid for 7 years straight, his numbers haven't dipped a bit and they're not all of a sudden just going to decline significantly in one season. I certainly wouldn't get in a bidding war for him though and probably wouldn't give him over 10 million, and preferably 2 years.

And there's a reason Milton Bradley's been on 6 teams in 8 years.
