Zambrano article in August edition of Vine Line




        In Bruce Levine's article w/ Zambrano, he talks about getting to understand new teammate Milton Bradley and how he had to adjust to Bradley's quiet, almost too quiet personality in the clubhouse. "For me it was weird to try adn get along with him at first. Sometimes he doesn't say hi, or sometimes he's too quiet. You have to respect that. You have to find positive things about teammates and their personalities."

        However, he goes on to mention, "We had a guy who played for us, then went to Atlanta and the Dodgers, who talked too much and was too loud. Even then you look for the good side of your teammate and always respect them."

       

 

    Who was this loud teammate that Zambrano and maybe the rest of the Cubs didnt necessarily see eye to eye with? I can't think of anyone recently that went to Atlanta then to LA. Although, maybe I'm just thinking too hard.

This should be fun

I’m really curious as to who it could be. I got nothing off the top of my head.

Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.

Maddux CAME from Atlanta

and went to LA so it ain’t him . Also the LAST thing anyone would accuse him of is talking too much.

Yeah, I think he's talking about Ohman (aka, the Human Scowl).

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

Yeah, it has to be Ohman.

With Atlanta and the Dodgers after he left the Cubs.

Here’s Ohman’s career stats.

I have heard Ohman was not well-liked by his teammates.

You are probably correct.

Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
