He still isn't worth the money, but it's good to see him get his shit together. Now if he could only start to hit for some power and maybe just maybe drive in a few runs every now and again.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
thank you rok. i wish to god people would quit saying the miles signing had anything to do with derosa being traded.
miles replaced fontenot who replaced derosa who was traded to to get bradley (and probably peavy). miles was never signed to be the everyday 2nd baseman. he was signed to be a utility guy. period.
if you hate the derosa trade, that's fine, but it's a different argument.

It wasn't necessarily dumb to shed DeRosa to open up room for a signing that may have ultimately led to acquiring Bradley. What was dumb was the hard-on Hendry had for Bradley from the get go.
