he's not that productive. but at the same time, not many backup middle infielders are. that's, essentially, why they're backups. i don't have a problem with miles on the roster. if not miles, we'd have another light hitting middle infielder. he's overpaid though, that's my problem. Or, to continue an overblown point that I see all sides to but is the large reason why there is contempt for Miles, we'd have Mark DeRosa. derosa wasnt traded so that we could sign miles, come on. No, and I didn't say that. But is he not seen as a replacement for Miles? Yes, he is.
