The Production You Want, the Attitude You Don't

Oh, Milton. You just keep getting harder and harder to root for (and own in fantasy leagues). Milton will not be playing for the rest of the year, and is likely to be dealt this offseason.With two more years left on his deal, the Cubs still owe him $21 million. With that kind of money left on the deal, it's very hard for Chicago to deal him to someone with eating most, if not all, of his salary.Bradley still has much to offer to a team on the field, but his off the field is another issue all in itself. He has hit .257/.378/.397 with 12 homers in 473 plate appearances, much lower than the .321/.436/.563 line from last year. His hitting this year may not be what Cub fans expected or preferred, but it isn't bad. I wouldn't expect him to do too much better next year, but it certainly isn't out of the question.For a guy who gets injured more than most, Bradley still is a solid defender with a 6.2 UZR/150 on his career. While he is better off in the AL so he can play DH most of the time, he can still get it done in the NL and shouldn't scare any potential suitors that way.Rumor has it that the San Diego Padres could be interested, with them claiming to have a positive experience with him during a brief stint there in 2007. The thought is that Bradley could excel in a lower pressure environment where he could just play without any worries.While I agree with that statement, I don't know how happy he'd be on a team with no hope for the playoffs. Now, he shouldn't go to the Mets or any other huge market team that would put excess pressure on him to succeed.
