Right...till the very first 2010 bump in the road..which WILL happen.

I always love when people tell me what WILL happen...

You think there's a chance Milt would be be a drama-free Cub in 2010?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I don't think he'll ever be drama-free...but, I think he could return to being less dramatic than he was last year.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

The sensitivity to bullshit from Bradley will be acute. It would take only the slightest drama to put him right back on the shit list. Everyone can make nice but unless he's trulay drama free, we'd be right back where we were.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Then why so many presumed trade suitors for him?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

That question doesn't even make sense. He's on thin ice in Chicago because of what he did last season and what he had to say about the Cubs and the fans. What does that have to do with any other team? No other team has to forgive him. They just have to get past the history, not mend fences.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

And in all likelihood they will get him for virtually nothing with the Cubs picking up a big chunk of his contract, or they will unload their own hot garbage.

If I were a small market team, I'd be interested in this guy right now. The presumption is that Hendry is willing to do just about anything to get rid of him. That's the Pirates/Royals/Rays/etc. dream. A star calibre player (if he returns to form in Texas) and the Cubs will pick up a lot of the 10+mm per year for 2 years or will take back bad contracts? And they don't even have to give up much for him? I struggle to see downside for a small market club. So he's a douche...Who cares? It isn't like they have media or fans in some of these towns anyhow. :-)
