Milton Bradley goes off on the field and he's a clubhouse cancer. Paul O'Neill destroys jug of gatorade and he's intense.
The only time the "clubhouse cancer" idea actually makes sense is when the player is doing something that costs the team games. Getting suspended for his behavior costs games, so in that sense Bradley can hurt a team. But to say he's disruptive or something makes no sense. If Bradley gets mad is Nick Swisher going to not hit the ball? Will Bobby Crosby stop fielding the ball? Huston Street not gonna pitch the ball? A guy being a jackass really doesn't matter most of the time.
