January 5, 200917 yr Really? That's a shocker to me. Given his reputation for being a headcase of epic proportions I don't find it that surprising...
January 5, 200917 yr Given his reputation for being a headcase of epic proportions I don't find it that surprising... Still a shocker to me. He's hardly the first head case, right?
January 5, 200917 yr Still a shocker to me. He's hardly the first head case, right? He started early, so teams have been cautious for a reason. Plus he's only played more than 101 games once since his debut in 2000...
January 5, 200917 yr What other left-handed RF with pop in the bat is out there for less than $10 million? It's not like the talent pool was deep. I think Adam Dunn would have been a better choice except he can't play RF. Bobby Abreu...Adam Dunn (moving soriano to RF) Either one of those would be better IMO
January 5, 200917 yr Adam Dunn in the outfield is a joke. As a Reds' fan, I thought you remembered???
January 5, 200917 yr Adam Dunn in the outfield is a joke. As a Reds' fan, I thought you remembered??? So you'd pass on Manny?
January 5, 200917 yr Adam Dunn in the outfield is a joke. As a Reds' fan, I thought you remembered??? Dunn is an average OF. Nothing more, nothing less
January 5, 200917 yr If Bradley stays healthy and keeps his head, it's a decent deal. Both are iffy propositions, although the injury risk worries me more.
January 5, 200917 yr I like Adam Dunn as a player, but let's be honest. Playing in the windy conditions of Wrigley Field would not be pretty.
January 5, 200917 yr Soriano cant play right any more than Dunn. Have either of them ever played RF? We all know the answer to that. Having played both LF and RF before, IMO the positions are very similar. Some may disagree, thats just my opinion.
January 5, 200917 yr I have played both as well, and YES, you are right, the are both about the same. It's just a matter of the ball slicing in another direction.

Some may disagree, thats just my opinion. The way the wind swirls in Wrigley, RF is tough. There was no better RF who bats LH than Bradley. The Rangers GM said that Bradley gets a bad rap because he's so competitive. If any MGR can make Bradley toe the line, its Lou. If he can stay healthy, he very well could be the missing link in the lineup. Jim Hendry is a top 5 GM, so I trust his decision making.

It's just a matter of the ball slicing in another direction. :thumb: And given the fact that Dunn was below avg in the field in Left, to think he could make the transition to RF is very questionable, same can be said for Soriano. Plus I like that Bradley hits for average better than Dunn.
January 5, 200917 yr My first choice this offseason for the Cubs was Ibanez, 2nd was Bradley, so all in all, I'm very happy bout this move
