July 6, 200916 yr Player A: .291, 20 HR, 51 RBI, 13 2B, 30 BB, 57 K Player B: .233, 20 HR, 51 RBI, 25 2B, 61 BB, 124 K Highlight below to see what's going on: Player A is Jermaine Dye. Player B is the combined totals of Alfonso Soriano and Milton Bradley. Dye is being paid $11.5 million this year, while the other two are making $21 million dollars combined. Throw in the fact that after 10 more games, Bradley's 2011 option vests. Just thought that was interesting to note on an off day.
July 6, 200916 yr I can't wait to see how long it takes the Cubs to try to deal Bradley. Anyone could see that was a trainwreck just waiting to happen. Soriano I have faith will have a big second half. He seems to be a late bloomer during the season.
July 6, 200916 yr I also love the fact that JD is a consummate pro and great in the clubhouse. Bradley is a cancer and you don't hear too much about Soriano.
July 7, 200916 yr The average, homers, and RBI's are what stand out. He has half as many doubles, walks, and strikeouts as both combined. Very interesting comparison.
July 7, 200916 yr He has half as many doubles, walks, and strikeouts as both combined. which means he doubles, walks and strikeouts on average just as much as the two individuals.
July 7, 200916 yr I really would rather hold onto Dye rather than Thome in terms of a DH for the future. A lot of people have slammed me for this but in recent years all Jim really has on Jermaine is OBP. Dye is as good or better in most other areas, is younger (a little), and costs less.

I think JD might be the most underappreciated Chicago athlete EVER. He's been nothing but money since he's been here.

Which is why I remember being so pissed that we re-signed him after that season. I'm happy to eat crow now...
