I don't think .270/.370 is out of the question at all, even with his huge 2nd half struggles he was still .257/.359 last year. I think those predictions are pretty solid.
By the way I guess I missed the Miles/Crosby similar hitters discussion, but they really arent even remotely close offensively in any way, in fact they are pretty much polar opposites. Crosby is a low average, swing for the fences guy and Miles is a high contact high average, low walk guy.
Miles was also a clear mile better last year, and a lot better over each of the past 3 seasons.
I don't want Miles to start either, and I've been quite vocal about wishing we kept Derosa but some of this Miles stuff is beyond ridiculous.
