Jim Hendry spoke of the Milton Bradley signing on Saturday. "IWe knew we needed a left-handed hitter by the first week of October, and if you noticed, we didn't sign Milton until the first week of January," said Hendry. "So there was a heck of a lot of work done, a lot of information gathering, a lot of medical testing, a lot of discussion with a lot of his ex-teammates from every club, managers, general managers. "I can promise you: Milton has made some mistakes. He's done some things on the field - snapping a few times that he shouldn't have - and he'd be the first to admit it. But as far as far as being a good teammate and an extremely hard worker and a guy that wants to win as much as anybody in that game, the negativity that was bantered around about him having problems in clubhouses couldn't be farther from the truth. He's a well-respected teammate and liked teammate by everybody that's played with him."
