PrintMilton Bradley for Mets OF next year anyone? Buy low.
- At Least He Didn't Hit A Home Run - Sam expresses his relief that Jeff Francoeur didn't kill the rally by hitting into a triple play.
- Baseball's Sad Losing Team: A Poem - Howard Megdal channels Tinker to Evers to Chance with this ode to Eric Bruntlett.
- Jeff Francoeur, Spartan - Mount17 gives us a layered FanShot about the quest for .300.
- Mets Top Prospects: #22 Eddie Kunz - Sam and Mark profile the large college closer.
- Who Has Been Clutch? - I use batting runs and WPA to answer the question.
- Mets Trade Billy Wagner To The Red Sox For Two PTBNL - One of the players is apparently Chris Carter, who was profiled nicely by robcast23.
- Bye Bye, Billy - AA poet Howard Megdal was inspired by this week's events.
- The Quotable Mr. Wagner - Almost 4 years of memorable quips from the departed former closer.
- Meaningless Ramon Castro Facts That I'm Posting Anyway - When it comes to Castro, correlation = causation.
- David Wright! - Sam pens a simple and effective tribute to David. On a side not, one benefit of the Mets injuries this season is the disappearance of the nonsensical "edge" topic.
- A Tour Around SB Nation - Links to the best recent work of other SB Nation baseball blogs.
- More On Francoeur/Murton - It looks like Matt Murton won't be a Met. And I was looking forward to Murton' Avenue.

I wouldn't
be unhappy picking up bradley for LF if we picked up half of his contract maybe the Cubs would be happy with marginal prospects or pen arms. But i don’t see the Wilpons doing that.

MILTON BRADLEY!!!!
If you think Sheffy is a malcontent just wait until this guy brings his circus to NY. He is a cancer. He was hated in LA where 90% of the people at the game don’t know that Garvey and Cey retired. That would be the ultimate Omar Fail
Jerry and Omar assclowns for life

I wouldn't say psycho
but dude definitely has some serious anger management issues. I don’t think he could hack it in NYC. Either the media or the fans would drive him to kill someone.

terrible defense???
King of the bling come to lay down the evidence//Not George Bush, L-Millz be da president
Alrighty then
A psychopathic LF
Who cares
who plays terrible defense
Career 6.6 UZR/150 in the outfield
and can’t hit on the road
.15 OPS points better at home for his career, which is less than the average spread
No thank you
Yes please
Smoltz.

Why not?
At this point, they might as well sign Michael Vick and Ted Kennedy too.
Milton Bradley? WHY THE FUCK NOT?

ugh
no way
comments like viva posted above is why exhibit a on why stats dont always tell the whole story
Why are they not going after Murton?
He’s available now. Just retarded to not add him.
Regarding Bradley, not sure why he sucked so much this year. I had him on my fantasy team last year and he just dominated in slg. and OBP, but it was also Texas. He’s an excellent hitter, I think this an off year for him and he’d perform better next year. But not worth 10 mil and the aggravation when we could have Murton for like nothing.
I think you answered your own question.
He’s available now. Just retarded to not add him.
