I don't expect Lugo to keep up his >1.000 OPS but he will beat out Miles 2009 MLB OPS of 500. I should have pointed out that at least Miles OPS is AAA is 566 and his OBP is 267 so it was about time to call him up.

I understand that the Cubs would have to release him if they didn't call him up so maybe a bit more time on the DL would have been in order.

I'd be pretty happy with releasing Miles.

I think signing a AAAA guy in his 30's to a 2-year, 5 million dollar deal in the midst of a deep recession, and then trading last year's team MVP to make room for him was a fine idea.

What made you think that?
