I have a philosophy about team building at work. I'd rather reign people in than bump them up. It's a matter of style, preference and comfort - it isn't for everyone. Milton Bradley may be my kind of guy. But is he a fit for the Cubs?
From cubs.com:
"Milton wants to win as much as any player I've ever been around," Rangers manager Ron Washington told the Sporting News. "Sometimes, that's misunderstood, and that's unfortunate. Milton gets a bad rap, and it's not because he doesn't care. It's because he cares too much."
I do hope the Cubs sign Bradley. He's a very good baseball player and could really add some fire and balance to the club. Mostly, though, I like that he'll hit like crazy, get on base a lot, run well and play good defense. Even if he misses a 40-50 games, he'll be worth it.

But can Bradley still play the field? Was last year a recovery year from the knee injury? MLB.com keeps listing him as a DH. Right at Wrigley is a tough field to play, especially in day games.
Sure he can. He's actually an above average outfielder.
