Milton Bradley is coming to Chicago

It is official: Milton Bradley is a Chicago Cub. He will be playing this year in the same ballpark that he once dove into the stands at and attacked a fan for stealing his hat. Bradley is no doubt a hot-head and may cause trouble in the clubhouse.

However, he is coming at the perfect time. Milton Bradley brings to the Cubs what they lack: fire. I am sick of seeing the Cubs not care about losing and not care about anything and only try when they feel like it. This guy is emotional and firey and that is what the Cubs have none of except for Carlos Zambrano.

Milton Bradley is a decent hitter with around a .280 career average. He played in Dallas last season with the Texas Rangers with a .321 BA and a .436 OBP. He will play outfield for the Cubs and hopefully will bring a glove with him.

Bradley is getting paid $10 million/yr on the deal, which I believe is a good deal for the Cubs, considering what they're paying Soriano who hit only .280 last year compared to Bradley's .321 BA of last year.

Overall, this is a move that I am happy to see Jim Hendry make. It is risky, but it is a risk that I, as a Cubs fan, am willing to take for my beloved Cubs. Jim Hendry has been too cautious in the past and afraid to go out there and get the big, risky names. He now has gotten over his fear and has made a move that could drastically change the Cubs' future.
