Cubs' pitcher Ryan Dempster would welcome free agent slugger Milton Bradley into town with open arms.

"Good player, man, and everything I hear from guys he played with is good," Dempster said. "I know he has that reputation of being a hothead, but you hear from guys who played with him, and they all say he's a great teammate. Obviously, he'll bring a pretty powerful dynamic to our lineup."
