Let me ask you all a question. When you see shots of the dugout, do you ever see Bradley chatting with teammates, joking and chumming with them? I don't. I see him sitting silently by himself virtually every time I see him in there...unless he's participating in some of the high-five groping after a sac fly or whatever.

I think the bigger issue than whether he's getting fan love is the impression I have that he has no friends in the clubhouse. I don't know who's fault that is but I doubt 24 other guys give him the cold shoulder because they're all assholes.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think that's a very interesting point. He's mentioned before that he doesn't have many friends in the clubhouse. That's odd though, because the overwhelming consensus (among guys that had played with him) before he got to Chicago was that he was a fantastic teammate.
