MLBTR has a couple of posts up this morning about Milton Bradley. One of them says the Cubs may be talking with the Blue Jays about Vernon Wells. This would be an awful idea. Wells is owed something like $7.6 trillion and in 2 of the last 3 seasons his wOBA has been well below...

Make sure you read Berselius’ excellent preview if you haven’t already.
Cliff Lee posted a 3.25 FIP in the AL while with the Indians this season and CC Sabathia posted a FIP of 3.39 this year. This should be a great pitching match-up. Lee’s xFIP was 4.15 with...
