Define "suck." Here's a way to do it in a factual manner...by comparing how a player performs compared to all other MLB players. It's called OPS+ for hitters, and ERA+ for pitchers. A score of 100 is baseline. Above 100, is good. Below 100, isn't that good. Over 125 is star-quality. Under 75 is hideous.

Bradley in 2008-161
Bradley in 2009-99

Silva in 2008-65
Silva in 2009-50

Bradley was average last year, and MVP-calibre the year before.
Silva SUCKS fucking donkey dick.

WE ALL FUCKING KNOW SILVA SUCKS. THAT ISN"T THE POINT AND YOU KNOW IT. Bradley HAD to be traded. There are no ifs ands or buts about it.

Bradley had to be traded. But Hendry poisoned the market for him. Imagine a fake injury rather than a suspension and imagine Hendry talking up his trade value rather than running around looking desperate to dump him. I've said this could have gone worse but it also could have gone a hell of a lot better. Silva didn't have to be the best we could do...going back to August...Hendry made it the best we could do in December.

Addendum: I see now that dk beat me to this.
