Milton Bradley is Headed to the Cubs, Multi-Year Deal offer may be a Mistake.

Bradley prides himself on being a good teammate, but eventually Bradley ends up being either restrained, defended, or shown the door by his managers. It's always something with Milton because Milton Bradley has a narcissism complex.

If you want an example of Bradley's narcissism, just go back to the 2008 All Star Game. Bradley was fawning all over Josh Hamilton during Hamilton's prolific home run derby debut in which he hit 28 dingers in round one. Nothing wrong with the fawning, however, while Bradley was mopping Hamilton's brow between home runs, Bradley also managed to ignore the 71 year old pitcher on the mound, Clay Council. When Milton posed with Josh and then took a picture of the two of them, once again, he ignored Clay Council.

Milton Bradley has been unable to relate to anyone older than himself for probably his entire career. His obliviousness towards a 71 year old pitcher who threw over 50 pitches to Josh Hamilton in round one of the All Star Home Run Derby shows Milton still has some growing up to do.

However, the real reason Milton Bradley should not sign with the Cubs is Bradley seems to get nagging leg injuries practically every season. In the American League, Bradley, could DH during the nagging times, in the national league, he either sits on the bench or risks making a minor injury into a major one by playing through the injury. There are a few instances of nagging injuries getting worse because Bradley continued to play in the field.

Then there are the fans who have the ability to get under Milton's skin. If Bradley's team is going on the road and it is a given that Milton will be treated shabbily by the opposing team's fans when he is in the outfield, a couple of days at DH is not such a bad option. Milton Bradley should be playing in the American League, it suits his game more.
