What the heck is going on with Milton Bradley (the baseball player) this season?

Question

This guy has so much potential and talent and he sits out of games for the oddest reasons. Even Sporting News's scouting report said something along the lines of, "Bradley is injured with soreness at the moment and most players would be day to day but we're talking about Milton Bradley here so don't expect him back for a while." That wasn't the exact quote but it was pretty close. Then he gets in odd types of disputes with commentators. He missed games with "undisclosed illnesses". I am starting to think that the guy misses games because he is somewhat mentally ill. Seriously. I have him on my fantsy team and had to trade the guy because of his inconsistency on and off the field. Are you a Rangers fan or do you have him on your fantasy team? What do you think of the guy?

Answer 1

I just picked him up as my reserve outfielder off Free Agents for free. So unless Manny, Hunter or Markakis get injured I'm not all the concerned if he sits out a lot.

I do notice it though. In fact it's probably the reason another owned dropped him.

Answer 2

He produces when he plays. But I got rid of him also due to the unreliability.

I think that he is one of a number of athletes whose attitude deserves adjusting. Manny is another but he is so good nobody really cares. It seems prevalent at wide receiver in football.

They make so much money they don't see why they should care about the fans or even their team mates it seems.

Good luck.
