Hey there M’s fan! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the blog. I feel like Mariners fans have a lot to look forward to this year… but then there’s that whole Bradley on your team thing. Other than that, it seems like the Mariners have put a great team together and a great organization. It really seems like a first class ballclub, which is no place for a guy like Milton Bradley. I find it hard to believe that he’ll suddenly change in Seattle. It does seem like a horrendous risk, but so many teams have done the same thing before. I believe the Mariners clubhouse has a great atmosphere like I’ve heard, but I fear it makes no difference in the angry persecuted world of Milton Bradley. Good luck this season though!

Hey there…M’s fan here. I’ve been doing my share of MB research to draw my own conclusions on what makes this fella tick.

I enjoy your blog. This post in particular I find interesting…funny how you seem to give him the benefit of the doubt BEFORE he appears at Wrigley, right? …and then 6 months later it’s beyond ugly. Wow, this guy can really go into a freefall and a dark, dark place…we’re not used to that sort of thing in Seattle…I don’t think we’ve EVER had anything like THAT…fans wouldn’t know what to do with it.

If Bradley can get his head right here, he’ll be a great addition…but looking at past patterns, he seems like a horrendous risk for the club. If he can’t make it on the M’s, with a mentoring arm of Junior around him to “comfort” him, then the man is done, period. Where would he go? The Tucson Toros independent AAA club maybe?

If Bradley doesn’t have his head right, it’s better for the M’s to find out sooner rather than later by really putting the squeeze on him in spring training and making him earn a spot on the roster rather than accommodating him and handing over a starting spot, which I don’t think they’d do anyway…that’s part of the reason why we picked up Eric Byrnes…with a little luck, he’s our Milton Bradley insurance policy. Let’s hope we don’t need him for that role late in the season when the club’s trying to make a playoff run, and sadly MB has another one of his meltdowns.

Hey, it wasn’t my idea, I just said give the guy a chance. Which yes, was delusional. Bradley will be missed by noone.

“…and he deserves the benefit of a fresh start here in Wrigley.”

7.5 months later, I can say… you really are delusional.
