With Bradley, be careful what you wish for. Bradley has given me the greatest personal sports thrills, so I'll always have a soft spot for him. It was a AA championship deciding game in 1999. His Harrisburg Senators were trailing the Norwich (the then Yankee affiliate) by 3 in the bottom of the ninth with two outs. He drilled a 3-2 pitch over the right field fence to win the game after striking out 4 times earlier. I would have seen it live, but we left after the eighth - it was cold, misty, and the kids had school the next day (and I listened to my wife ). The next year, he signed a photo of the hit for me, which I have framed.

But, in truth, Bradley is more trouble than he's worth. there isn't a player currently in team sports who even closely approaches his level of disruptive behavior. This trend was evident when he was a minor league player as he was suspended for spitting and shoving an umpire, and engaging in altercations with teammates and coaches. He 's thrown a bottle at and atacked fans in LA. he is truly a sociopath, whose most egregious outburst is surely yet to come, given the opportunity. Torre, Jeter, Steinbrenner and the NYPD won't be able to turn him into a gentleman. Playing in the Steinbrenner pressure cooker certainly would be the perfect atmosphere for him to surpass the actions of Jimmy Piersall. Also, he is a career .270 hitter with average power for his position.

I've always liked Sal Fasano, who beat out a bunt for a hit this year. He brings a lot of spunk although he won't win many games for you with his bat.
