We could easily trade Bradley and/or Fukudome if we pick up some of their salaries. I guess you could say the same for Alf, but there's a whole lot of time/money left on his deal...

I have to believe that Hendry always knew that with the Fuk and Alf deals, that a day would come when we'd have to pay someone to take them off our hands. The gray area is the question when that point would come. I just don't believe he ever thought either of those guys would play out those contracts in Chicago...they were just the contracts it took to get them here.
These guys are only going to get older and slower. Hence my shuddering at the thought of the same outfield 2 years from now.
