There is one thing that I forgot to mention in my last blog that didn't occur to me until later.  

I am surprised that Milton Bradley ended up signing with a National League team.  I would think that givin his reputation as injury prone he would only be attractive to American League teams at the DH position.  One thing that I didn't address was the fact that he DH'd a lot for the Texas Rangers last year.  It will be interesting to see how he fares throughout the entire season as an everyday starter for the Cubs.

He's not the quickest fielder with the best range, nor is he necessarily known for his glove but, he is certainly NOT a liability in the field.   The man will get his share of outfield assists with the cannon attached to his shoulder.  He's a strong man.  I wouldn't be worried about that. 

I can understand people's concern with him catching the injury bug this upcoming season as a starter but it's a risk that i'd still take with him.  He may prove to be better suited for the DH role on an American League team.  But, it's still a risk that i predict will still bring high rewards.
