CHAD BRADFORD RUMORS

Dan Wheeler - 2012 Version of Chad Bradford?

The relief market is well known for unusual activity during the off-season. For example, the Philadelphia Phillies made a head-turning move with its signing of Jonathan Papelbon to a four-year, $50 million contract this year. Since then, Philadelphia’s former closer, Ryan Madson, signed a one-year deal worth around $8 million with the  Reds — and their former, former closer...

Orioles Sign Korean Reliever Chong Tae-Hyon

The Orioles have apparently signed 33 year-old right-handed relief pitcher Chong Tae-Hyon to a two-year, $3.2 M contract. The submariner - or Korean Chad Bradford*, as I'm going to think of him until I learn how to pronounce his name (and maybe after that) - has a 1.93 career ERA in 569 IP in South Korea. Other numbers; 7.1 K/9, 3.3 BB/9, 0.4 HR/9. By comparison, Chad Bradford...

Nats should sign Bradford

Before you laugh at that title, consider this table: Pitcher table (I made it on my own, but it wouldn’t fit into the body of the post.) I apologize for the cluttered look. If you are confused, here is the gist: Chad Bradford is better than three of the relievers currently in the Nationals’ bullpen. Miguel Batista’s last good year came in 2003, in which he posted a 3.49 FIP...

No Stars, Just Great

I don't watch all that many movies or television shows, folks. Between the three sports, filling the bloghole, doing the day job, playing poker, doing the household stuff and being the Shooter Dad and Husband, the day runs out of hours pretty fast. No complaints.But I do, eventually, work through my Netflix queue, and after reading enough about the show to know that I was going to...

Will The Mets Be Outspent By The Cubs?

Today in the Chicago Tribune, Cubs Chairman Crane Kenney gave a rosy outlook as far as the team payroll goes. Kenney said all the bidders are aware of what the Cubs payroll is projected to be in 2009. Kenney wouldn't say, but sources indicated it will probably be between $140-$145 million."It leaves us enough room to address the issues we have to address and actually improve a 97...

Mets Say No To Chad Bradford... Again!

If you are in a great mood today, you might want to stop reading beyond the end of this sentence. Most of us Mets fans still get red hot whenever we remember how we let Chad Bradford walk away after the 2006 season, when the Mets had the best bullpen in the league. We were even more enraged when he was surprisingly traded from the Orioles to the Rays during last season's trade deadline...

For the betterment of mankind.

This afternoon, the Orioles gave Tampa Bay a really good late-innings relief pitcher. Chad Bradford, the submarining righthander who can pitch just about every night, was dealt to Tampa for a player to be named later. He passed through waivers because he's owed about $4.5 million through 2009. Andy MacPhail told the Baltimore Sun "We just [...]

Rays Acquire Tampa reliever Chad Bradford

The Rays have claimed Tampa Bay's Chad Bradford from the Orioles for a player to be named later. Bradford is 3-3 with a 2.45 ERA in 40 innings of relief work. What makes him desirable is that he has pitched in 17 playoff games, pitched 15 1/3 innings for four different teams and has not given up a run.
