Yeah? What percentage of total payroll is Marquis' salary? About 6%? And yet, Hendry has to dump Marquis' salary in order to make the Bradley signing (or the Peavy trade, or whatever). It's clear that every dollar (or every million dollars) counts right now. And regardless of what percentage of the payroll Miles is eating up, he's making about $2M too much.

Miles' line last year:
.317/.355/.398
He's no world beater, but I fail to see how he's not worth $2 or $3 M a year.
