I don't believe that for a second...I think they were trying to right a ship that had started out on a bad course.

They were thinking out of the box...something everyone here does on a constant basis.

I'm sure they thought it was a good move. They just happened to be wrong.

And if Aaron Miles hit .300/.380/.500 last year, we'd all be applauding Jim for a savvy free agent signing.
