There is no doubt that Bradley has been nothing short of a disappointment so far. But he has been looking better at the plate lately. He also leads the team in OBP (I think) with .385. So he hasn't been a complete disaster.

I wonder if there's anywhere you could get the number of K's Bradley has looking. I bet of his 57 K's, 35 are looking. He gets most of them looking for a walk. Which again, isn't bad, just not where his spot in the batting order dictates what he should be doing. He's fine as a #2 hitter.
I got nothin'.

Yeah, I love the patience, but I've never seen anyone who is looking for a walk in virtually every AB and refusing to protect the plate on 2 strike counts. I think he's turned things around though.

He still fouls off a lot of pitches that look like they are right in his wheelhouse -- pitches that he would've hit for extra bases last season.

According to Baseball Reference, his Strikeout Looking Percentage is 42%, which would be 24 of the 57.

I stand corrected. A little under half. That's still gotta be one of the higher percentages in baseball. Now I wait to be proven wrong... as usual.

13th highest in MLB. Marco Scutaro leads at 63%. Luis Castillo at 60%, Brendan Harris 56% and Denard Span at 52% are the only others above 50%.

He cares about the fans.
Sometime he'll toss one a ball after the second out.
He's a crowd pleaser.

It's almost like he enjoys being the victim. He loves taking boarder-line pitches so he can cry, "See, they have it out for me." Just swing the bat, fucker.
