Game Over: Bradley designated for assignment

Re: Game Over: Bradley designated for assignment

If Bradley were to sign with the Twins he would likely be the DH which would be easier on him physically.
At this point Bradley either has to be a DH or a backup OF. His starting days are probably behind him since he can't even stay on the field for 100 games.

You read my mind.

The next time Jason "I have ZERO home runs in 1200 major league at-bats" Tyner starts at DH I'm going to go postal on the Twins front office.

Well, so much for that idea.

A fitting fate for a jackass like Bradley. Baseball purgatory.

Ahaha, apparently the trade to KC is blocked by the Royals because Bradley had an oblique injury. Ouch.

Why in the world do the Royals want Bradley? We already have a logjam in the outfield.

Why the hell would KC want his bad attitude in a club house of youngsters? Crazyness!

Right, we know how loaded the Royals are with quality major league caliber talent.

First line is KC's production from DH, the second line is production from LF.

Now why in the world could the Royals possibly be interested?

Well it doesn't matter, since they voided the trade.

Sure, Bradley might bring a short-term improvement when plugged into one of those two positions.

But you have to consider that Billy Butler, one of the best hitting prospects in all of baseball, is a klutz in the field and will likely assume the role of regular DH, which is currently occupied by Mike Sweeney.

As far as leftfield, we already have a platoon of Emil Brown and Joey Gathright out there. If you look at the numbers, Brown compares favorably with Bradley and is far more durable (Bradley has played in 190 games over the past 3 years, Brown has played in 350).

And when you factor in Bradley's less-than-stellar attitude, I don't see why the Royals would be interested in the guy. It's not like we would be giving up a whole lot to get him (Leo Nunez is a good pitcher, but nothing special), but I don't see a real need for him on this team.

I agree. A team like the Royals, dependant on younger talent, needs to stay away from players like Bradley like the plague. Bradley isnt gonna save the season, but guys like Butler and Gathright need the development time at the big league level.
