I don't like Miles either, but it's nice to have some flexibility for when Bradley goes down (assuming he's part of the big picture as well).

Flexibility is normally the label given to a guy that isn't particularly good at one thing.

I'm not disagreeing. I'm just saying -- it's nice to have a guy who can play a lot of positions. DeRosa was that guy and now he's gone. Miles isn't nearly the same caliber hitter as DeRosa, but if we land Bradley and Peavy, then he'll be just fine as a backup/platoon guy/sub.
