Aaron Miles retires

[Post Count Padder]

Veteran Aaron Miles is set to retire according to the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate, writes Matthew Pouliot of Circling The Bases. Miles, 35, hit .235/.297/.338 in 18 games for Albuquerque this season.

 

The infielder hooked on with the Dodgers in February of last year on a minor league deal. Miles would go on to make the big league roster and make 490 plate appearances with a .275/.314/.346 slash line. The veteran's agent, David Schwartz, told MLBTR in April that his client hoped to play in 2012 and in May he hooked on again with the Dodgers.

 

For his career, Miles hit .281/.320/.352 across nine big league seasons with the White Sox, Rockies, Cardinals, Cubs, and Dodgers. Baseball-Reference pegs his career earnings at roughly $8.77MM through 2011.

 

Thank god. No chance of him coming back and haunting us.

With all of the characters NSBB has seen come and go and come again under a ghost account and then go once more, what exactly did Da Bum do to become the most infamous poster in NSBB history and earn a lifetime ban with no chance of redemption?

[SouthSideRyan]

I agree. We should take a flier on da bum.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Well yeah, if he's willing to accept a low base salary or a minor league deal, it can't hurt.

I agree. We should take a flier on da bum.

 

something incentive-based. if he can get to 5000 posts by the end of the year, make him a mod.

If only Da Bum could've been an Illini fan.
