It's a shame to see lots of ignorance remaining regarding sleep disorders. Of course Braddock could play his whole career without addressing the problem, and if he played in any other era he would probably have been forced to deal with it. But the idea is to maximize Braddock's ability. If he gets the condition under control, he can worry more about pitching and less about sleeping. He can be a better teammate because he will show up on time and not be groggy all the time. As for Mickey Mantle, he had a serious problem with drinking and it should have been dealt with in the same manner: That being said, the Braddock demotion does raise some red flags. I suspect that either the condition is more serious than the Brewers are saying, or there are additional problems that the fans are not aware of.
