Milton Bradley

Does anyone have any experience or insight into just how many games he is likely to miss with his injury on an 8?

Trying to decide whether he is worth it.

With [i:e7c747fce0]any[/i:e7c747fce0] luck you can expect to get around 450 AB's.

You'll need a good backup for him obviously, but when he's healthy he mashes. :D :D

Thanks, so far I have both Bradley and Shawn Chacon on my team. I guess I should be glad there is no suspension for assaulting ump/gm on their cards. :D

For players under 600 PA, I figure 9 games will be missed per injury factor. So for Bradley, expect him to miss 45 games.

For the way his card plays, 117 games from Bradley isn't too shabby. On the other hand, you really need to grab a quality backup for him so you don't go in the tank for the games he misses. I've had success with a Fred Lewis/Randy Winn platoon backing up an outfield that included Josh Hamilton, throwing them both in the lineup when Hamilton got hurt. It's pricey, but it's an option.

lol 5th game of the season and Bradleys is out for ten games. Looks to be a bumpy ride. :lol:

Through 78 games Uncle Milty had 289 at bats for me. He went down for 15 games at that point. He was outperforming his rl stats at the Bank in a $200M league.

Sigh, through 81 games only 151 at bats and he has been pretty bad even when he is playing:

151 20 38 5 1 7 16 24 36 0 1 2 .252 .362 .437

This is through 147 games -not too shabby with 545 PAs 28 games missed due to injury.

I'm actually going to sit him down through the rest of the season to avoid inj. through playoffs... IMO well worth his buck.

Ended the season hurt (of course). Only got 345AB and 41w out of him:

345 56 94 12 4 20 46 41 83 2 2 3 .273 .356 .504

Bad luck with his card all around.
