DO RED SOX FIT MILTON BRADLEY?
The Cleveland Indians will trade Milton Bradley within 72 hours of Wednesday's confrontation with manager Eric Wedge, ESPN's Peter Gammons reported today.
Theo should get on the phone to Mark Shapiro immediately. Shapiro can NOT expect to get a lot in return for Bradley after Gammons' report. M.B. has tremendous talent with a questionable attitude which reminds me of Carl Everett. Unlike Everett, Bradley is young and making only $1.73 million. The influence of Ellis Burks, Kevin Millar, David Ortiz and company could eliminate Bradley’s past issues allowing his talent to take over. Nixon’s injury opens up a spot for Bradley for at least a month. The downside to this deal is that Bradley comes in and disrupts the clubhouse in April necessitating a trade. Theo gets the little back that he sent to Cleveland and it cost the Sox an additional 300K. The upside is that Bradley flourishes under the Sox veteran leaders giving the organization another outfield option in 2004 and the centerfielder of the future.
