Mathew Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 But, if he walks he can steal it into a double or a triple. I was shocked how few speed guys we have after looking at all our hitting prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 As long as I'm remembering right, Doublem pretty much tended to believe Miles has to prove himself at AAA first and then in the majors, as he thought Miles was more of a one year wonder. I have said this from the very beginning. This is his year to prove he is a legit player and not a career Minor Leaguer. His spring put him off to a great start. I'd like to know why he hasn't played much lately in Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 I hope they are giving Miles a fair shot down there. The guy seems to know how to actually play baseball, and that means he's got something on about 97% of the rest of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 The guy seems to know how to actually play baseball, and that means he's got something on about 97% of the rest of them. You mean he knows how to have almost as many CS as SB's? How to not hit for power? How to stink in 5 of 6 AA and lower seasons? How to be a terrible fielding 2B-man that makes Jose Valentin look like a Gold Glover? With new and improved Tony Graffanino, I don't see why anyone is even talking about Lil' Popeye anymore. Not when you have Willie Harris, Borchard, Rauch, Diaz, Almonte, Munoz, 6'7'' Scott Morgan, Gload, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of it has to do with room. Miles can't play short and they are playing Nunez there with Hummel at 3rd and Harris in 2nd. Borchard is playing in center and they aren't playing Harris in any of the corner slots. That means he doens't have many options. Miles can't really go to center cause the Sox want Joe getting all his time in center. Hummell can play any infield position, but Miles can only play 2nd and he isn't going to be playing over Harris. Reason being tools wise Harris is much better, he's also younger. I know those Mile fans may not like that, but if Harris develops a better eye, he could be a heck of a leadoff hitter.

Grebeck Fan Club Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Miles had a good spring, but he doesn't fit in our long-range plans. Some guys are just meant to be roster filler. He'll only get a shot if we have extensive injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 I noticed the Sox Web Page does not show stats of minor leaguers. Is SoxNet going to do this on a regular basis? Hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least from what I've heard and read about him. That goes a long way in my book. In fact, it's something this team needs more of. See Rios' blunder Tuesday night for an example.
