I guess I'm not following.

Edmonds wasn't coming back. We needed another starting outfielder. We got Bradley, who replaced Edmonds.

DeRosa was traded. Fontenot became the starter. We needed an extra middle infielder. We got Miles, who replaced DeRosa.

I'm not even sure what we're arguing anymore. All I know is Aaron Miles has done nothing thus far to make me think he is going to be any sort of a worthwhile contributor to this team.

holy shit, are you serious? fontenot replaced derosa, miles replaced fontenot. it's pretty fucking simple.

Does it really matter? Miles replacing either of those guys is a big downgrade.

Miles replaced Cedeno. Fontenot replaced DeRosa. Fontenot's position was never replaced (that roster spot basically went to Gathright), hence we only have 3 MI on the entire 40 man. Trying to look at the moves as individual moves doesn't make sense, that's the point I'm trying to make and people keep ignoring.
