Saarloos & Kennedy for Milton Bradley?

As for Kennedy/Saarloos, I'd gladly give Kennedy to the Dodgers for Bradley, but I have an irrational sentimentality for Saarloos. He earned his way onto the team in noble fashion, and is sure a nice guy. I met him briefly in KC last year during the Royals series, and he's one of those genuine guys that you can't help but like. But Bradley would be a nice addition...

And on and on.....I love how people say it is one incident...cracks me up.

Here are some quotes for you and his "one" run in with Jeff Kent. Tell em again how he isnt that bad....or should we ask his wife?

He alienates opponents and teammates alike with his icy glare and smarmy strut. He runs out ground balls as indifferently as Albert Belle. Even his own hitting coach, Eddie Murray, says, "He'll bark at you for no reason at all. I don't like the way he treats people."

He later had another run-in with the Dodgers' Paul LoDuca, after which he issued this league-wide warning: "If you don't know me and I don't know you, don't approach me, and I won't approach you. Don't insult me, and I won't insult you, because you don't know what I will or won't do."

"I don't play this game to make friends," Bradley says. "I didn't always follow the rules. I didn't always do it the way it's supposed to be done. But I did it."

He is just as likely to snap at an umpire's bad call as completely ignore a teammate who says "Good morning" when he enters the clubhouse, leaving onlookers somewhere between flabbergasted and furious.

"You wonder what his problem is," one Indian says.

The old, combustible Bradley exploded himself when he didn't take to Murray's suggestion that he hold the bat differently, and "went off on me," in Murray's words. "He just doesn't get it," says Murray, a Hall of Famer with 504 lifetime home runs to Bradley's 19. "You can't put up with the way he treats people and the way he treats me."

Then again, after one strikeout he walked back so slowly that the next hitter was in the batter's box before he reached the dugout.

The Daily Breeze reported that in one of the calls Bradley allegedly choked his pregnant wife, bloodied her lip, and threw a cellular phone at a wall.

The newspaper reports no charges were filed against Bradley or his wife in relation to the alleged incidents. A Redondo Beach police report obtained by the Daily Breeze said in one instance Bradley told authorities he was battered by his wife because she suspected him of cheating on her.

In a second police report, obtained by the Daily Breeze, there was another dispute about relationship issues. Bradley's wife reportedly said she had her lip bloodied after her husband grabbed her right hand and pushed it against her mouth. Bradley then reportedly threw a cell phone that broke apart and later pushed his wife's throat against the wall. Bradley's wife was four months pregnant at the time.
