The Rangers got a very good player for a very good contract. Those numbers would have looked nice in the two hole for the Brewers, but maybe his personality issues were too much to overcome for the Brewers (and apparently many other teams).

yeah -- good signing for the Rangers, I hope his knee heals.

Not so much his personality as his injuries. The combination of the two makes him just hard to deal with. 75 games in 2005, 96 in 2006 and 61 in 2007. $5 million is still a lot of money for a guy who you can only count on to be there half time.

Now that Bradley is back in the AL, Jim Powell will presumably have fewer opportunities to say "Meltdown Bradley."
