Milton Bradley Doesn't Feel Vindicated, Vows to Return by Spring Training
Sep 27, 2007 – 7:00 AM
I was wrong: I suggested that Mike Winters suspension would vindicate Milton Bradley, but Bradley completely dismissed that idea. Considering he's still laid up with a bum knee no matter what punishment Winters receives, I guess that's understandable.
Is it me, or was Chris Rose trying to put words in Bradley's mouth regarding a lawsuit? Bradley ignored the suggestion, but Rose seemed to twist that into being a "wait and see" response. And really, who could he sue? Winters may have instigated the whole incident by talking like a sailor, but I can't possibly see how he'd be culpable for the torn ACL. Could Bradley sue Bud Black or the Padres? I guess it's possible, but that might do more harm than good in terms of his already-stained reputation in front offices around the majors.
I'm not sure I believe that he'll be ready by spring training, but there's a decent chance that he could at least be ready by Opening Day. The standard recovery time for this type of injury is 6-8 months, and he has six months almost to the day before Opening Day. If he can shave a week or two off his rehabilitation, it's definitely possible. He sounds awfully determined and earning a contract can be a great motivator, so don't rule anything out.
