He's probably better than Zimmer at most things - but only marginally. We've ben sold on this idea that Zimmer is a good defensive option, but observably and statistically he isn't. Bradley did win a gold glove 4 years ago, although I'm not sure he deserved it.

Ultimately you're right - Bradley has a worse WAR, but it's likely just because he played more. But I am pretty sick of Zimmer, so having someone new to hate will be a nice change.

as long as both dont have to Bat

they dont bother me as Defensive players and runners. and shouldnt bother anyone really if thats all they are doing

not enough players on the bench to have defensive players that can run. Especially when they are below the Mendoza line when it comes to hitting. It's not unlike having an automatic loss from a fifth starter that is unwilling or unable to throw his best pitch for a strike. It's a waste of a roster spot. Better off bringing up some minor league talent than trying to squeeze value out of these bums.

Gasp, they sent down Otto Lopez. A left bat that isn’t Zimmer. Maybe he finds something. No big loss if he doesn’t. Not far from September roster expansion

I guess its a matter of opinion. September call ups aren't eligible for post season. I think I'd rather have Moreno available for post season than .107 hitting Zimmer that poops the bed virtually every at bat.

They’re going to need one of JBJ or Zimmer as an left bat OF. I don’t care if it’s a guy with a bit more experience.

he's not THAT pretty
