<!--/colorc--> is actually a good guy, a fine teammate, and a perfectly pleasant chap in the clubhouse. His outbursts have come against booing, screeching fans shouting racial epithets, and umpires who he deems have slighted him.
I'm not at all saying that the latter two problem areas are excusable;
I'm simply re-stating (for those who might not be aware of it) the seemingly universal opinion that, despite being a really high-strung dude, he's actually a pretty good teammate.
And guys like that tend to respect sergeant types in leadership positions...which describes Lou perfectly.
IMO, Bradley's only negatives involve his health, not his head.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You're most likely correct. If he can get his shit together and Lou lays down the law (which he hasn't exactly been known for since coming to Chicago), I think we'll be pleased. Also, and I know it's been said already, we need to keep DeRo if we sign Bradley. Our depth in that scenario would be incredible.
