You don't just get cut a guy that has $21 million remaining for 2 years, especially when he was the AL OPS leader just a year ago. He's been an elite hitter his entire career as a regular player. If they really can't handle his attitude and frequent complaints about the fans, find a way to trade him. There'd be a bunch of AL teams interested in acquiring him. But you don't just cut him. And we all knew this is how he was. He's a crazy psycho and he always has been, but I could care less if he's hitting. And Sam Fuld's a 5th outfielder. He's not an everyday MLB player. I love how he plays and his constant hustle, but a big market team can't throw him out there everyday. He's currently hitting .268 and doesn't even have an RBI. He's hitting .222 in August since getting extended playing time. I'm all for keeping him around, but not to start in CF. This team is not better off with basically substituting Fuld for Bradley.
