Guy has great talent if he can stay healthy.

What you don't like a guy who throws baseballs at umpires and spikes sprite bottles at people.

Hmm seems like Cleveland knows how to breed the insane players
Joey Albert Belle anyone.

It looks like Beane really has faith in the A's clubhouse.

You know something is seriously wrong when you put up a .900+OPS and the team is still looking to get rid of you. His problems continued in LA.

This is very risky move for the A's. But you can't deny he has talent and he's only 27 years old.

I'm sure glad they didn't trade him to the Cubs. I think he is a perfect fit for the A's and could do very well there.

Milton Bradley is not a bad clubhouse presence IMO. He wants to win, he has a drive to win and gets upset when he isn't. I want one or to players like that in my clubhouse. Plus, he's got some definate skills.

I agree.

Jeff Kent was the MAJORITY of the problem last year. Everyone knows he's a racist redneck who can't get along with anyone black. Bradley, Bonds, whoever.

Gave up Bradley and Antonio Perez for Andre Ethier. Is he in MVP Baseball 2005?

Are you serious?? Really, I mean at least Kent doesn't go after fans, throw things at people and take everything public.
Now I am not sticking up for Kent but Bradley is not a saint by any means.

Plus Kent didn't go public with everything like the little crybaby psycho that Bradley is.
One more thing that nobody mentioned, Bradley actually horsekicked a catcher in the middle of the chest in the Minor leagues, the guy has a serious anger issue, and to say that it was all Kent's fault makes me question what you were even thinking with your comment.

Not in the Top 100 prospects.....

IMO Dodgers got ripped HUGE. Of course they only had 6 more days to offer arbitration or trade bradley otherwise he would have become a free agent. So in that respect I guess you go all that you could get. Not sure why you threw in Perez too.

Actually, this was Izzy Alcantara, not Milton Bradley, as far as I know. And it was damn funny. Maybe one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

Wrong. Both Kent and Bradley were at fault for that. Kent is a jerk, but so is Bradley. Bradely has had more on the field (AND off the field) incidents in the past 2 years than probably any other baseball player. Here's the list:

- 2 domestic violence incidents at his home that police were called to.
- Refusing to leave the field after arguing with an ump
- Throwing a bag of baseballs onto the field after disagreeing with a call
- Throwing a baseball at a fan in retaliation to a bottle thrown on the field that landed no where near Bradley (LA suspended him for 1 week)

Those are the only ones I know about. I'm sure there are more with this guy.

As for your comments about racisim, I guess I don't have to say much since you've already been banned numerous times because you can't behave well with others. Everyone else, please don't turn this into race or it will be locked.
