Chicago Cubs Should Keep Milton Bradley On Short Leash
Found this,he makes an interesting case. I don't necessarily agree with his opinion. He does make a statement about Bradley having a poor attitude in the clubhouse. I didn't know about that.

Since
the guy who wrote this is never in the clubhouse, I don’t really think I’ll take his word for anything.
Agreed
The writer is a high school senior from Florida. I doubt he has any knowledge of Bradley’s clubhouse demeanor.
Wow no joke
Not to say a high school senior can’t be bright, but its pretty clear on this one you have to consider the source. And his sources seem to be speculation and opinion.
"Ask Dad. He'll know. And on the off chance he doesn't, he'll make something up"
What speculation? That's exactly what Bradley did. He didn't run out a groundball.
You may be a Bradley fan, and that’s fine, but the writer nailed it on the head. Bradley, IMO, is a cancer. When he plays, he hits like shit. He’s been hurt for over half of the young season, and he doesn’t hustle. I personally think, and have thought all along, that the Bradley signing is bad.
It would be great for him to turn it around, and I hope he does, but I’m not counting on it.

Well
I don’t think you would want to run very hard if your groin hurt either. Ya know, maybe he was told to take it easy to avoid hurting it even more.
If he can't run hard because of an injury, then he shouldn't be playing
in the first place. The only thing he’s doing is hurting the team by playing hurt. If you can’t run, then keep your ass on the bench. That’s kind of a no brainer there.

When does injury prone and poor hitting equal cancer
Looks like Bradley is facing the same rush to judgment that Jacque Jones faced.
And what happened to Jacque Jones?
I don’t believe he’s playing for the Cubs….

in that it is not relevant that Jacque Jones isn't playing for the Cubs now.
We’re talking about the reception he got from his not so hot start that never really cleared up even though he made valuable contributions later in the season.

Well
I guess I prefer to look at all the facts before getting all judge and jury on the guy. And in the future since we don’t agree on Bradley I will assume you will just ignore my posts that are not in agreement with your judgement/assessment of him. I see your opinion, and I hope you see mine. This way we don’t waste the time of either of us.
"Ask Dad. He'll know. And on the off chance he doesn't, he'll make something up"
Fair opinion
If you’re going to run down Bradley for what you believe was entirely a lack of hustle, you better be prepared to run everyone down. Go ahead, from Lee, to Ramirez, to Guerrero, to Hamilton to just about everyone perhaps a few guys here and there on each team…they all jog to first base on routine grounders. Consistently. What’s worse, they do it at every single minor league stop too, all the way down to low A and short season ball.
You’re crazy if you believe Bradley should be singled out for that specific instance if you’re not willing to single them all out. Every time.
Who needs a stinkin' tag line? What are they for anyway?
Especially since....
MB told the Sun Times he tweaked his groin in the 3rd inning when he chased down Ted Lilly’s bad throw on that bunt.

Then he needs to say something and get out of the game.
How can you people not agree with that? If he can’t run, then how the hell is he going to play OF? How is he going to get to second if he laces one in the gap? How is he going to score a run on a hit up the middle? He’s not helping the team by playing hurt, and if you people can’t see that, then go ahead and keep defending him and sound foolish.

ARam has slacked going down the line many times
and has been defended by fans, coaches, and mates (not this season so far) so he too should be on a short leash, according to this thought process (which I DO NOT agree with).
I agree about hustling and giving 100%, but sometimes (when hurt) giving what seems like 80% is 100% of what you can give now.

Since he doesn’t even reference where in the hell he heard such “reports”.
"Ask Dad. He'll know. And on the off chance he doesn't, he'll make something up"
It
seems to me that this is just another guy waiting for Bradley to fail so he can say he knew it was going to happen all along.
Damn, he's had a chance.
Do you think he’s a rookie or something? The shit that Bradley is doing, i.e injuries, arguing with umpires, getting ejected isn’t new. He’s been doing it for 8 years.
by Cubs and Hawks fan on Apr 28, 2009 1:11 PM CDT up reply actions
No
he hasn’t been given a chance. Ever since the first day he signed, all we have read about in the papers and from people like you is what a horrible person he is. That doesn’t seem like he’s been given much of a chance to me.
I'm not talking about him as a person
I’m talking to about him as a ballplayer. How many teams has he been on in his career? When you find that answer, ask yourself, why so many??
by Cubs and Hawks fan on Apr 28, 2009 1:44 PM CDT up reply actions
why so many
Ask Randy Johnson why he is on his 5th team
Ask Shaq why he is on his 4th team
Ask DeRosa why he is on his 4th team
Reggie Jackson played for three teams
Nolan Ryan and Roger Clemens played for 4 teams each.
oh, and Deacon McGuire and Mike Morgan share that record, having played for 12 different teams
guess what, welcome to the new era of Sports where people switch teams like underwear. It is not just because of “being a cancer”

Bradley went two for four, walked and scored a run. That’s an OBP of .600 for the game, isn’t it?
He made a few plays in the outfield too. Got to the ball and everything.

That's right...Bradley played a good game yesterday
and that’s exciting, I hope he keeps it up, but that’s really the only good game he’s had.
I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong on the Bradley signing if he keeps it up, but one game out of the 11 he’s played in isn’t a good ratio.

Another writer begs to differ
This has been posted in the past but I think a lot of the folks attacking Bradley ought to read it. He certainly has issues but being a club house cancer is not one of them.
I think I am going to give him more than two weeks.

You're very generous
I won’t opine until 30 team games. Just as I didn’t opine on roster moves until the first day of Spring Training. Fair is fair, but those two deadlines are pretty indicative of how a team will do later on.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
Well if Bradley continues to have the same average until May 30
then I will go ballistic

if he has the same average May 15th Lou will beat you to it

Really
You didn’t even give him until April 15th.
You also claim he has a mental condition that causes him to exaggerate his injuries.
At least be honest: you made up your mind about him before he ever played a game.
can't a man change his opinions?
Plus we didn’t know the severity of the injury at that time, its 20/20

what other choice is there?

Looks like it is too late
Many people made up their mind before he arrived. Injury prone means cancer I guess.
Recently, there have been reports that Bradley is a negative influence in the clubhouse
Where’s the evidence for this?
And Lou has already talked to Bradley about running out grounders.

stop namecalling.
No one justifies playing Bradley when he’s hurt, except that sometimes, you have to play when you’re hurt.
What we’re suggesting is that you’re taking a non-standard performance by him and attempting to apply it pre-emptively to the entire season to come.

Agreed
And it is not as though any Fan on this blog thought he would play 130+ games anyway. I thought that Cubs management was clear when they signed him that they were not expecting Bradley for every game throughout the season. Truth is we get 120 games out of him, we’re probably doing pretty good.

just for poop and giggles
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
to say, or actual poop?

Hmmmm,,,,,,
Let’s see. You don’t like Bradley. You posted Soriano Sucks. What did you think of Jacque Jones? I bet I can guess.
What is the common theme?
irrational disregard for
cubs outfielders?
Oriole by nurture. Cub by marriage.
I dont get it
Every year there are some players that people like and some that people don’t. Not all fans are going to like all the choices that the management makes. Not all the fans are going to like how some players approach the game. It does not make one a bad fan or a good fan. Everyone has an opinion i can understand people disagreeing with each other but alot of this is getting really old. No one on this team is above being called out….it comes with the territory. We are not bobbing head dolls (yeah i know TWSS) and dont have to agree on much of anything except that we all want our boys in pinstrips to play hard and win.
I for one was never a fan on the Dome signing…..no real reasons just didnot like the years and money…but i dont want to see him fail…..
The thing that I have learned over the last couple of years with these cubs teams is that they are very very streaky. you have to enjoy the good streaks and wait out the bad ones.
Let go cubs
Bradley goes
2-4 and a walk, at least one run scored.

Personally, I'd change the title of the post...

Apologize for any confusion.
