Although it doesn't count because he had only had 284 plate appearances, only Chase Utley had a higher OPS(.915) than Fontenot(.909) for 2b's in MLB last season. Miles' .317 batting average was the third highest among 2B's(Pedroia, the AL MVP, was .326). When these are the things people are complaining about, you've got a pretty damn good team, for the regular season anyway.
