Miles individual stats also proves he sucks. They are clear for all to see but he still plays. Miles has one of the lowest BA and OPS of any position player in MLB with over 120 AB.
If his individual stats don't seem to matter I thought maybe there was something regarding team performance that doesn't show up in his stats. Unfortunately, there isn't.
Looking at team performance when Miles gets 3 or more than ABs - when Miles starts - the Cubs score 3.84 runs and 4.75 runs when he either doesn't play or gets less than 3 ABs.
