QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 02:39 AM) But if I can get #9 on that list, minus the injuries and minus the crazy, I'll take that. If Milton Bradley weren't crazy or injury prone, then he wouldn't even be #9 on that list.

He's a slighty above average player, with a superstar contract. Most Similar Batters 1. Pete Reiser (950) 2. Shane Mack (942) 3. Gabe Kapler (940) 4. David DeJesus (939) 5. Danny Taylor (939) 6. Roy Weatherly (938) 7. Ray Blades (938) 8. Coco Crisp (936) 9. Milton Bradley (934) 10. Wally Judnich (934) I wouldn't have wanted Rios for DeJesus, let alone Rios for $60M.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) So the Royals are now seeing if they can convert Pena to a pitcher since he hits like one. Once he cleared waivers they said he would possibly go to their spring training complex and work on his mechanics. Certainly not the first time such a thing has been done...
