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.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Their career OPS is .007 apart.
What is ridiculous exactly? Yeah, Miles was pretty decent last season but it was a career year thus far, and who knows if that will keep up or if he'll return to the shittiness of the rest of his career. I'm not holding my breath.
