This is a discussion on Cut Jim Edmonds jihad within the San Diego Padres forum at Strike 3 Forums; That's assuming Milton would have signed for 5 mil to stay in San Diego...
Not making excuse, just pointing out the fact that him signing with Texas for 5 mil doesn't guarantee that he would have signed for the same with San Diego.
I wanted Milton resigned and agree you in principal that they would have been better off with him than Edmonds, but that still doesn't mean he would have signed the same deal to stay here.
Milton is a hot head who was coming off an injury and was a huge part of why the Padres didn't make the playoffs. Cannot blame them for not re-signing Bradley.
2008 Giants > Padres
Pathetic Stat of the Year- Matt Cain has a 3.74 career ERA, but has won just 30 of his 104 starts.
So you believe he signed with Texas for less money just to spite the Padres? For taking their sweet time with him? Nevermind, you just disagreed with that notion.
Counting down to: The end of Andruw Jones's contract with the Dodgers:
163 games
now with Wells down, watch J.P. Ricciardi sign Edmonds

well two SS's go down and JP signs two OF, so since a OF went down,, does he finally get a SS or get another OF?
