QUOTE TO NOTE: "There were a lot of people waiting to say 'I told you so about Milton Bradley,' after I got hurt. I turned all that into a positive. I think I've played better coming off knee surgery than anybody would have expected." -- DH Milton Bradley, on his season. Bradley leads the AL in on-base percentage and is second in the batting race to Boston's Dustin Pedroia.
