He's off to a hot start, and he's feasting at that tiny ballpark the Phils play in, but I don't think it was a smart signing; the Phils had to give up a #1 draft pick to sign a lefty twin of Burrell when they needed to get more <i>right-handed</i>.

Not even Butch thinks Bradley's gonna hit .107 all year. My only worry with him is my perpetual Bradley worry...can the fucker stay in one piece?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
There's the Ibanez is too old crap again. He has plenty left and will be well worth that contract.

Seriously, one year at 5 million is a steal for the numbers he is going to put up. His defense would have been no worse than Bradley's and he plays 150+ games a year.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Woah, woah, woah, his defense would be no worse than Bradley's? That statement couldn't be more wrong.

There should be a defense with replacement player stat. If that was the case Fuk > Abreu > The Hoff

Yeah, at this point in his career, Abreu is basically Hoff, with less power and a higher OBP.

And almost an absolute lock to drive in and score 100 runs not to mention the 20-30 steals he will get. Abreu and Hoff aren't even comparable.

Ibanez is a good hitter. Thoughts?
