It probably doesn't need to be re-stated yet again, but I think Sullivan is the best there is on the internet, a genuine candidate for baseball employment, all the way up to eventual GM.

His statement "You can't have 4 OF's when one is Bradley" *is* pithy, insightful, and is the consensus, as is stated above.
But cyber-Seattle consistently does forget about Don Wakamatsu's approach to handling roster crunches. Roster analysis constantly overlooks Wakamatsu's unorthodox approaches in 2009, with Griffey and Sweeney and 12 pitchers on the roster.
The concept "you can't have 4 OF's when one is Bradley" would be true for 25 of 30 managers. Wakamatsu is different.
I'm sure that Sullivan himself, secure in his expertise, would take a lot less offense to a 'witty' dissension than his lurking fan, above, does.
You definitely can have 4 OF's on the 2010 roster, one being Bradley, if Figgins and Griffey and Shannahan are on the roster.

Some people get very angry when a mistake is pointed out; it strikes a chord, and they react emotionally. Fortunately, Sullivan isn't one of these individuals, so his fans can afford lighten up a little bit. With 10x SSI's audience, LL is going to be okay. :- )
