They would have been a distraction playing <b>RIGHT FIELD</b> for the Cubs.

It's possible that Abreu could have played right, but Ibanez would have been a train wreck, especially by the end of his contract, if we had him as an everyday right fielder.
Dunn, on the other hand, if he had worked very very very very hard on his defense, might have risen to level of train wreck, if we were very very lucky.
And all of these guy would have to play right, as Soriano wouldn't be any better.

Meh. Look at the difference in offensive production. It would be worth the 10-15 errors. Plus, if we're going to talk "train wreck..."
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm just saying that with the exception of Abreu, it would have been pretty impractical to sign any of these guys to play RF. Ibanez was an old, bad left fielder, and Dunn was a complete butcher.
Yes, Bradley was train wreck. But not in the (exact) way we thought he would be. We thought he would be injured all year. We thought he'd be a pain in the ass who occasionally sought out fights with announcers. Instead, he has been marginally healthy, and completely psychotic.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
