RIP The Chad
(A couple pieces by Sip for you today. Following this piece about Chad Bradford's signing with Baltimore, Sip tackles the decline of the Yankees through to 2009, when all will be right with the baseball world.)
Word on the street is that Chad Bradford is joining the rest of baseball's free agent relievers for some crabcakes and football down in Baltimore, having signed a three-year contract to join those pesky O's.
The Chad will be missed.
Was anyone on the Mets more consistent in the postseason than Bradford? I had more confidence when this guy was on the hill than when it was Aaron Heilman or Sandman time.
Bradford's postseason line: 5 games, 5.1 IP, 0 ER
Bradford's success was often disregarded. But, he sure did an awesome job. Along with Pedro Feliciano, Bradford formed one of the better early inning righty/lefty combos in recent time.
So, take care of Cousin Schubert down in B-More, The Chad.
The one positive: this frees up a spot for a right handed specialist at Shea. You might say that one of my spare time activities has been working on my arm angle.
VCD,
Sip

HELLO JOE SMITH
Although I hate losing him, middle relievers are generally year-to-year propositions.
Trying not to get impatient with all of the money flying around, and none of it from Roosevelt Ave. I have to believe it's going to Barry.
Talk about short-term memory issues... of course, money was spent on Moises... it's been a generation since there's been a biblical Alou in blue and orange. I guess those free spending Cubbies are starting to get to me.
Mormon-y *snicker*
Met Fan 75 - I feel your pain but keep the faith...Omar's best moves, I've found, are the non-moves. We will be pointing and laughing when all of these contracts fail.
Honestly, I had never heard of Kei Igawa before the Banks dropped $26 mil on him yesterday. $26 MIL!
Now that I have heard of him, he projects as a poor man's Jamie Moyer. This should be fun.
Word. Bradford became my dude. Let us hope that Duaner/ Padilla can combine to return healthy enough to make us forget Bradford's departure. Has he been on like 5 teams in the last five years or am I buggin?
