One week into the season and i thought it would be interesting to keep tabs on how Bradley's season goes compared to the other options the Cubs had to sign in the off seaon, namely Adam Dunn and Bobby Abreu. All bat left handed and could play right field. Bradley signed a 3yr 30 mil Dunn signed a 2yr 20 mil with the Nationals Abreu signed a 1 yr 5 mil with the Angels. While i favored signing Dunn with the option of trading DLee, many liked the Bradley signing because of his career year with the Rangers. Abreu never seemed like an option but after the deal he signed with the Angels, it would have certainly been a bargain compared to what the Cubs signed Bradley for or would have signed Dunn for. Numbers after the first week. Bradley- Hits: 1 Runs: 3 HR:1 RBI: 1 Avg: .059 OBP: 370 Dunn- Hits:8 Runs: 4 HR: 2 RBI: 8 Avg: .333 OBP: 571 Abreu- Hits: 7 Runs: 1 HR:0 RBI: 6 Avg: .292 OBP: 333 Also Bradley left Sunday's game early because of tightness in his quad. Of course nobody should be surprised because of his history of injuries. Clearly you can't say if the Cubs made the correct signing yet but it will be interesting to see where this heads. Ill updated the numbers as we go along. Also if anyone thinks another player should be added that they could have signed or played in right field let me know and ill add their numbers.
