December 11, 200520 yr If you're a team desperate for a power hitting OF like the Pirates, no wonder they're interested in Bradley. And Jim Tracy has probably told Dave Littlefield what he's like in the clubhouse etc.

And Jim Tracy has probably told Dave Littlefield what he's like in the clubhouse etc. Not to be picky, but I don't know why people ignored what I said. Jim Tracy has told the Pirates he WANTS Milton Bradley. He always got along with Bradley and would talk him up down in LA and say that the media would overblow stuff. Jim Tracy is backing this move and he wants him. That should say that a lot of the stuff regarding Bradley is totally overblown.

Mueller is a perfect fit for them, and Bradley is a worthwhile gamble for a team like the Pirates who have only one way to go ... up. The only thing I'm worried about is the Pirates being good for those three games vs. the White Sox, I'll be there.

The only thing I'm worried about is the Pirates being good for those three games vs. the White Sox, I'll be there. They have had a solid off-season. Hell, KC has too. Tracy is a very good baseball guy (not saying he's a great MGR) but he's a good manager and more importantly a good guy and thats what you need when your trying to rebuild in a near impossible situation (and Pitt is that). Pitt, Detroit, Mil, Cin, Col, TB are all teams that have been in the crapper for a long time and aside from Mil, they all look like they are going to be there for a while.
December 11, 200520 yr Milton Bradley is putrid. I heard someone on the radio compare him to T.O., only problem is TO is good. If my favorite team was seriously considering trading a top prospect of reliever for him (which thanks God there not) I'd be furious.
