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.

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

I'm in the same boat as you. I know the two of us have debated this subject with HSC in the past :D

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.

The kid appears to have a good baseball head on his shoulders. 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.
