HighHeat45 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I dont know if anyone posted this anywhere but i just read that Aaron Miles was named Colorado's starting second baseman, im glad we put him somewhere where he will play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Miles hit for a good avg, I think like .290 but he only had a .317 OBP. Plus, Damian Jackson is who he beat out. Still, Miles is a hard working guy. I don't think he's that great, but he'll be a bench guy for at least a few years in the majors and right now, it looks like he is in the right spot cause the Rockies got nothing up the middle and for Miles sake, hopefully he can put together a great case and get himself a gig.

southsideirish Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I dont know if anyone posted this anywhere but i just read that Aaron Miles was named Colorado's starting second baseman, im glad we put him somewhere where he will play Yeah, good luck to him, but I am not a big fan. I like who we received in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I think Miles will be a doubles machine this year and add a nice dose of triples. Count him as a candidate for ROY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Miles and Clayton, the best defensive combo in the bigs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 This is another test of Kenny. Will Willie be better than Miles? Will Uribe?? We shall see. If Miles shines and our guys suck, another KW blunder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkokieSox Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 This is another test of Kenny. Will Willie be better than Miles? Will Uribe?? We shall see. If Miles shines and our guys suck, another KW blunder. Whatever. Uribe is certainly worth the risk (or lack thereof) for Miles. Miles OBP is .317. Uribe has been having a pretty decent ST, and looks to be a possible starter at SS someday soon (not meaning this year unless Jose goes down IMO.) Right now, if I had to choose two out of three, I'd take Uribe and Harris. What happens, happens. However, to say KW made a dumb move, well I don't buy it.

DBAHO Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 If ever Aaron Miles was goin to perform in the Majors, it would be in Colorado. Great situation for him up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Miles shines and our guys suck, another KW blunder. Not really, because Milesi s going to be playing in Coors, so the stats will be drastically inflated. This will be a good deal for both teams. I think it will be better for the Sox, cause I am not very high on Miles whatsoever, but its a move that definately made sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what Ozzie's lookin for in his infielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, if I had to choose two out of three, I'd take Uribe and Harris. What happens, happens. However, to say KW made a dumb move, well I don't buy it. I agree with you. Both Uribe and Harris supposedly have a higher upside than Miles, plus it's comforting to know we have someone of Uribe's quality if Jose does get hurt. I liked Miles, but I think KW had to make this trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Uribe plays far betta defense than Miles. That's what Ozzie's lookin for in his infielders. And he projects as a potential solution at shortstop, since Jose may be gone at the end of the year. I'm pretty high on Uribe. The guy has loads of potential and he's the exact type of guy that I think Ozzie can help. Juan was rushed, and had tons of pressure on him after getting off to such a quick start.
