Last winter, when I started the blogging in December, the first poll I put up on the blog was What left handled hitting outfielder should the Cubs go after? The choices were Bradley, Dunn, Ibanez, or Abreu, all of whom the Cubs were interested in at the time of the poll. I can't recall which of the sluggers received the most votes in the poll, but we know which one Jim Hendry voted for. Let's take a look at the numbers comparing Bradley's 2009 season to that of the other 3 choices.
Home Runs
Bradley- 12
Dunn- 38
Ibanez- 34
Abreu- 15
Bradley's Rank: 4
Batting Average
Bradley- .257
Dunn- .267
Ibanez- .272
Abreu- .293
Bradley's Rank: 4
RBIs
Bradley- 40
Dunn- 105
Ibanez- 93
Abreu- 103
Bradley's Rank: 4
OBP
Bradley- .378
Dunn- .398
Ibanez- .347
Abreu- .390
Bradley's Rank: 3
So even without considering how negative of an impact Milton was in the clubhouse, his suspensions, and blunders, the other three candidates were clearly miles (not Aaron) ahead of him. And the Numbers don't lie.
