DeRosa at least had the frame that he could potentially hit some home runs. Miles looks like a sickly, brunette version of Ace. He'll never develop any power, ever. He's a slap-hitter. He's Juan Pierre without the speed.

we don't need him to hit for power. we have plenty of guys that can do that. what if he puts up a similar year to the riot's last year? .300 avg and a decent obp? i don't think that's far fetched at all.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if he tops a .350 OBP. That's all I would want out of him really, but I'm not too optimistic about that.

well maybe you should be optimistic. this is cubs my bow legged friend, this is the cubs.
