You realize Crosby as a hitter is pretty much on par with Miles, right?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
He's not close to Miles as a hitter actually, but he's a helluva shortstop and I think he'd make an easier transition to other positions than most.

Yeah a .007 difference in their career OPS isn't close at all.

Miles was a .317 hitter last year and hit over .290 the year before that . Crosby hasn't had an OBP over .300 since 2006. Shit, Miles had a higher slugging percentage the last 3 years. Who cares though? It's a backup infielder. Look around the league, they're all like this. Again, the Phillies just won a world series with Eric Bruntlett playing a ton of games. The Rays went there with Akinori Iwamura and Jason Bartlett as their starting middle infielders.
