Milton Bradley: Realizes He's A Six Year Old Child

Milton Bradley officially issued a statement saying he will be undergoing professional counselling for his personal issues and has spoken to team management asking for their support and help. Perhaps I crucified him a bit too soon and too thoroughly.

This is a huge step for Milton. Throughout his whole career and, by all accounts, in the years before that, Milton has had huge anger issues. Not just in that he goes off easily, but that he takes offense at idle comments. In no way does this excuse Milton's actions; he still should easily be able to hve noticed what he was doing was wrong.

The point is, Milton has finally realized that he has problems and that it isn't everyone around him that is wrong. Even more impressive is that he is letting others help him. If Milton has expressed any one thing in his career it is his desire to be completely independent of all those around him. However, in this case, he has finally allowed others to help. As they say, admitting you have a problem is the first step, and hopefully this leads to Milton reforming his attitude and living a happier life both in baseball and in all other areas. Good luck to the man, and hopefully he doesn't disappoint.
