But people gave him an applause when he got A HIT.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
But Miles happens to be a good baseball player. I don't want Johnny Hustle on the team if he hits .240.

Let's just hope 2008 isn't a fluke. Because if he reverts to his career averages, I'm not sure you can call him "good."
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
If he hits .290, that will be plenty good enough.

Not if his OBP is .329.

It would be fine, and as I've said, he'll be batting a lot more from the right-handed side than in past years, where he's very good. You guys are nuts about this, it's not going to make a single difference on us getting to the playoffs and the guy we got rid of was pathetic in the playoffs for us aside form his wind-aided homer.
