Excuse me? Since when are most of our guys all or nothing, non-contact hitters? They ranked 2nd in the league in runs and 8th in HRs. This team is all about putting the ball in play and that's why I like them.

Are you sure that it had nothing to do with him having a career year last year when he hit .317 (lifetime avg: .289) and got on base at a .355 clip (lifetime OBP: .329)?

If Miles puts up a line like he did last year (.317/.355/.398) than I'll be extremely happy with that. I think most people here will be. But something tells me he's going to float more closely to his career averages while playing pretty good defense at 2nd and unimpressive defense at any other position.

The career averages aren't terrible at all. I think I'm just going to have fits all year having just Theriot and Miles at SS all year.
