Milton Bradley says that unrealistic expectations and poor communication were to blame for his struggles with the Cubs last season. "Two years ago, I played, and I was good," Bradley told The New York Times. "I go to Chicago, not good. I've been good my whole career. So, obviously, it was something with Chicago, not me." Bradley had a career-year with the Rangers in 2008, hitting .321 with 22 home runs and 77 RBIs. "Just no communication," Bradley told the paper, referring to his Cubs tenure. "I never hit more than 22 homers in my career, and all of a sudden I get to Chicago and they expect me to hit 30. It doesn't make sense. History tells you I'm not going to hit that many. Just a lot of things that try to make me a player I'm not."
