I've never seen him play. As for Perez, I've seen what he can do. We could field a track team in the outfield. And BJ, I have no problem with him in CF.

Swap Perez and Upton's positions and that would be fine. BJ did so well at CF last year so why move him. Also, do you plan on platooning Perez and Joyce or leaving Joyce on the bench?

Whether it was before or after the Burrell signing is uncertain, but most analysts believed Bradley was pretty much a lock for the Cubs. Burrell will likely increase the durability at the DH spot. It will be a lot better with only him at DH than last year's platoon. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3811501

According to the latest from ESPN, the Cubs have signed Milton Bradley for 3/$30m. Whether it was before or after the Burrell signing is uncertain, but most analysts believed Bradley was pretty much a lock for the Cubs.

Burrell will likely increase the durability at the DH spot. It will be a lot better with only him at DH than last year’s platoon.
