Losing one guy off the market can only be bad for the Cubs.
I hope we sign Bradley today.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
you're very dramatic.

Ibanez was always going to go first because he was the no. 1 option for a lot of teams, so he had to set the market. Bradley and Abreu should fall soon.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah, actually I think Ibanez setting the market at 3/$30M is a good thing for the Cubs.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Me too, because Bradley won't get the money or the years (especially not both). I think the 2 years/$8-10 per number is pretty accurate.

I think you'll be surprised about what Bradley can make on a contract. The only reason I think he'd take a 2 year for $20 mill deal is if he just wants to get into a big market and show that he's a excellent, mentally stable player for his next contract.
