How quickly Milton Bradley has fallen
In March of 2004, the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired Milton Bradley from the Cleveland Indians for 21 year old Franklin Guttierez, the 31st best prospect in the game according to Baseball America, and 23 year old power right-handed pitcher Andrew Brown.After 2 seasons, the Dodgers were tired of his shenanigans and packaged him with back-up infielder Antonio Perez for a middling Oakland OF prospect, Andre Ethier.
Now in 2007, Oakland has also gotten fed up with his attitude and sent him to San Diego for a 26-year old right handed minor league relief pitcher named...Andrew Brown, the same Brown he was traded for slightly over 3 years ago.

The sad thing is that Milton Bradley is a very talented baseball player. Wasted talent, an unfortunate thing to have to see.
Eh...he's always been overrated. He had a very good 2003, but outside of that year, he's never hit over .300, had an obp over .380 or slugged over .500.
He's adequate in a number of areas, but not good in really anything. He's valuable, but nowhere near an all-star palyer.
Well I meant very talented as in more talented than 99.99% of people on this planet. I agree about your assessment of him as a major league baseball player.

I agree with this. He's not great, but he's an above average Major Leaguer. Too bad about the attitude.
Brown's gotta feel great about this. Forget about a career, if he gets traded for Bradley again, he'll be forever relegated to a trivia question.
