Well there have been a few stories popping up out there on the Tigers being interested in the Cubs outfielder Milton Bradley. Over at MLB Trade Rumors they have been tracking whats going on in the news on this supposed deal. Let me be the 1st to say this would be a terrible idea. For many reasons this would be a terrible situation for Detroit on many different levels. Let me point out three really fast.
1. Milton Bradley is being paid 9 Million Dollars this year. He was signed to a 3yr 30 million dollar deal this off season. Unless the Tigers want to go down the same road they traveled with Sheffield. (Note, Milton Bradley is no Gary Sheffield, Sheff is a much better player, and has more sense to him) Times are tough in the D, how will fans like it if they move in another high priced outfielder that hits .250.
2. Milton Bradley is crazy! Yes thats right crazy. Even Lou Pinella can't really handle the day to day antics of Mr. Bradley. He has been very well traveled in his career and there is a reason for that. Detroit please don't mess with any of the chemistry they have built back up from last season.
3. Marcus Thames, Clete Thomas, Josh Anderson and Oh Guillen's Back. Enough Said. Why would Detroit go out and grab another outfielder when he may not even produce. Milton Bradley reminds me of a Jacque Jones all over again. Please don't get him.
