Bruce Miles of the Chicago Daily Herald wonders why the Cubs don't go after signing Milton Bradley to play rightfield.
On the plus side, Bradley is lefthanded, can hit with power, can play rightfield, and led the AL in OBP last season. Bradley will also be cheaper, according to Miles, than Abreu & Ibanez.
On the down side, Milton Bradley could legitimately be insane. How will he handle the moronic part of the Cubs fan base that boos everything that isn't a home run? How will he handle the Chicago media, a group that will ask about 100 years everyday?
The past 2 years, the Cubs have been soft in the playoffs. Why not sign the guy that could fulfill every need current need & also bring in a "tough" guy? We say bring him in. He won't have to play a 162 game rightfield, so worries about durability won't be an issue. If the Cubs keep Mike Fontenot on the roster and don't end up trading him, Mark DeRosa can play right field to keep Bradley fresh.

Look.. if MILTY is on his meds and can stay healthy.. he'll be just what the doctor ordered. No pun intended. This guy is a GAMER. Period. People can say what they want, but MILTY wants to win.
