Milton Bradley Misses Another Game

For the second time this spring, Milton Bradley sat out due to hypochondria "the flu". He was also sidelined with "tightness in his thigh" for the first few games this spring.

Bradley, who missed 36 games last season for the Rangers due to "days he didn't feel 100%", has played in only 1/3rd of the Cubs' spring training games to date. This isn't a good omen for Chicago fans.

Of course, the upside is tremendous: Bradley hit a career-high .321 in the games he did play last year. He plays hard," Rich Harden said. "If I'm on the mound, I definitely want a guy like that playing behind me.'' (That's if he decides he feels well enough to play when you're pitching, Rich.)

Cubs GM Jim Hendry said, "We're not expecting him to play 150 games. We have other good outfielders.'' If Bradley continues being Bradley, let's hope that Hendry's not expecting him to even play 100 games in the outfield--that's a mark that he reached only once in his career, in 2004 with the Dodgers.
