Zambrano is a nutcase. Bradley was a couple steps beyond nutcase this year.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I'm so tempted to go along with your line of thinking, BT. But it is so Cublike--let's hope that things will change despite the obvious history that it probably won't. I think Bradley should be jettisoned for anything of value. I think it would be the same shit next year, only worse. And mainly because his entire history has indicated that this would be the case.

I see what you are saying, but I think it would also be cublike to ditch him for pennies on the dollar, and then watch him tear it up with someone else, while we scramble to find a right fielder. I don't mind shopping Bradley, but I also have an issue with paying a guy 22 million to be productive for someone else.

My main concern is that I just don't believe Bradley can be successful here, regardless of the circumstances. The fans will eat him alive and he will never be able to relax and perform even if they lay off him. If we trade him to another team and he puts up numbers like 2008, that doesn't mean that he would or could do the same here in Chicago.
