SilverBullet 2,712 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Maybe Bradley preferred the Phillies for whatever reason. Can't just assume every free agent could have been had if they wanted him. Link to post Share on other sites

This lineup won't produce lots of runs so a really good closer is really needed. If you give a closer $10MM a year and he gives you 45 save then why it's not worth it ?

It's really make no sense, never to sign a closer again because Heath Bell sucks, never to sign a SP again because Chen sucks, never to sign a …c'mon it's the worst reason.
