I'm sure not.
It's Miles, a fellow who is clearly inferior to DeRosa, who we're uptight about.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Like Andy said and you always remind us, we got the AL OPS leader in Bradley. You can't look at the positional comparison but the team as a whole. We got a downgrade offensively at 2b, but a monumental upgrade in RF. If we just got Miles instead of DeRosa and kept Fuk in right field, sure there's reason to be upset. Our lineup now has more versatility and might very well be better than last year's. I don't think DeRo puts up those power numbers again either. I bet he hits 12 or 13 homers.

But are Bradley/Miles better than Edmonds/DeRosa would have been? I'm not sold yet.
