High Risk, Very High Reward

Milton Bradley is the absolute definition of high risk high reward. Every year, this man has been on the free agents of your fantasy league because he never plays but when he does play he provides solid contributions across all fantasy stats. If only he was able to stay healthy throughout his career, this man would be a fantasy stud.

Last year, Bradley's stats were:

.321 Avg ,22 Homeruns ,77 RBI, 78 Runs, 5 Sbs, 80 BB, .436OBP, .563 SLG, .999 OPS

His career on base percentage is .370. Which is a good indicator to his patience at the plate. This year he signed with the Chicago Cubs for the next three years for $30 million. You can argue that it was a contract year and that is why he produced career highs across the board.

However, Milton Bradley has gotten better at the plate as hes aged into 31, and he is going to be hitting in between Aramis Ramirez and Derrek Lee, to give a left handed look inbetween the two. Moving to Wrigley Field is also easier for hitters as the homerun fence is shorter as well.

Bradley is into his 30s now and he will be looking to win a championship before his career is over. Chicago will be the place to do it as they will again, contend for the championship this year.

Look for Bradley to produce well again this year provided that he can stay healthy, Look to grab him around the 6-7th round. He is definitely a risk that I will be taking this year.
