    Miles career numbers of 290 and 329 OBP are just fine for a bench player. If Miles could get on base at a higher rate, he would be seen as a everyday player(like Theriot and many others). Last year he had a big year and the media started thinking he might be a regular this year, but obviously the Cubs don't expect him to repeat those numbers. Most back up middle infielders don't have higher then a 329 career OBP, and thats why there back ups. Miles asset to the bench is he could hit for average. He can fill in for a regular and go 2 for 4 on any given day, and he can come off the bench and get a big hit off a good pitcher. Having a guy who can consistently hit the ball off the bench is valueable to a team, even if he's only getting singles. There was plenty of times last year, when if Cedeno or Ward just got a single, we would have gotten runs and won a game we lost. Of course the bench also needs power, and thats why Hoffpauir or even Koskie need to be on the roster, and be at the plate with alot of guys on base. But I don't see how having Miles as a back up is bad for the team. I know you love to defend hendry at all costs, but you sill haven't explained why it's okay to give a crappy backup infielder a 2 year deal

    He meant the first offensive rebound, the one that came off the missed free throw. No, Boeheim was yelling at the human garbage that he wasn't supposed to foul Price. hey don't hate, im sure she deserved it

    unreal this is the best time of the year for sports imo. college tourneys, baseball about to start, and the nhl and nba playoffs right around the corner.

    no and his stolen base percentage in the bigs is 76.8%, there's nothing wrong with that. yeah he sucked at it last year but i'm not going to knock down his OBP last season because nobody gave him extra credit for his success in stealing bases the previous year. He wasn't good in the minors either though. 70% for his career. So his good 2007 seems a lot more flukey than his bad 2008. I don't think he'll be as bad at stealing bases as he was last year, but he's probably not going to be good.

    Theriot needs to bat 8th. why? Because hes not that good? among regulars he led the team in both average and obp last year. if that's "not that good" then what are the rest of the players? better convincing argument. theriot is good in his own ways, and obviously has deficiencies as well. but to say that the guy who got on base more than every other player on the team last year "isn't that good" is just stupid. Ok, who do you think Theriot is a better hitter than for the 2009 season? Fukudome. Theriot had pretty much the best season you can realistically expect out of him last year, Fukudome sucked, and he still only out OPSd Kosuke by .008

    that's what i'm saying. yeah he didn't look good on the first 2 SO attempts, but if it wasn't for him, it wouldn't even be a in shootout. the funny thing is i don't even like huet. outsdie of campbell, he probaly pisses me off more than anybody on the team. i just don't get why people have to rip him even when he's playing well.

    if not for his brilliance in ot it doesn't even go to the shootout I'm just glad Khabi is still a Hawk. :roll: even after a great game in net you have to find a way to trash huet :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: what, was he not good tonight? especially considering he took a nasty headshot
