Well, Fuk accomplished his feats while playing in <i>Japan</i>. Bradley did it in the American League.
And Bradley also led the that league in OPS (A-Rod was 2nd).
Bradley's a hell of a ballplayer. He's not only significantly better than either Abreu or Ibanez, he's both younger <i>and</i> cheaper.
And I'm different from you guys...I watch baseball for entertainment. Heck, Bradley would be fun to watch even if he were a <i>lesser</i> player, because he's such a powder keg. But an out-of-control, crazed All-Star? Sign me up.
Clubhouse brotherhood is vastly overrated, especially as it pertains to winning championships.
I have no beef with us landing either Abreu or ibanez, but if it's a choice between one of those guys, or a younger, cheaper, possible MVP candidate...I mean, are you serious?
My only beef with him (and I concede that it's a legit problem) is his injury history.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
