Here's my problem. So what if we kept Bradley and he had a bad season next year. In 2011, he'd be playing for a new contract. I don't even think Bradley is stupid enough to not give it his best in a contract year, and he is capable of putting up great offensive numbers, as he did in Texas. Silva, on the other hand, has never even been a remotely good pitcher. We've exchanged a good, possibly great, player with a bad attitude and a bad contract for a bad player with a bad contract who is coming off an injury... I just don't see the logic in it. $6m in savings over 2 seasons isn't going to get us much in return.
