J.D. Drew has been notorious for missing games and spending time on the DL with various injuries throughout his career. It's widely known that Drew won't grind through a game if he's not feeling nearly 100%, resulting in his career high in games played being 146 last year. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to the new J.D. Drew. His name, is Milton Bradley.Upon being released by the A's, Bradley said the move was racially motivated. Considering the fact that Bradley has been on the DL four times this year, and is in the middle of a second string of games missed because of an oblique strain, I'd say the issue centers around Bradley's inability to stay healthy. Check this: Milton has been in the bigs since 2000. Now in his eighth season as a major leaguer, Bradley's career high in games played is 141. His next highest total is 101. Bradley has failed to play at least 100 games in six of his eight seasons.

When the Padres completed a trade for him, he spent the first 15 days with San Diego on the DL with a strained left oblique. Now Bradley's missing games with a strained right oblique. Optimistic reports suggest Milton could be back this weekend. Realistic reports say there is no timetable for Bradley's return. It's really a shame because he could be such a good player.

But now a platoon of Drew and Bradley is a winner right?

They may both be injury prone (to say the least) but at least when motivated (in a contract year), Drew was a home run/power machine.
