This is kind of a separate argument, though. But I'll chime in anyway.
Miles replaced DeRosa only in the sense that DeRosa left the team and Miles joined the team. The largest role Miles was ever going to have was Fontenot's platoon partner. But he made it pretty clear that he blows. And then he got hurt. And now he's the most expensive 25th man in baseball.
