Serious Post:
Every mainstream article out there that discusses the Chicago Cubs’ offseason moves thus far focuses on the Milton Bradley signing, the Mark DeRosa trade, and letting Kerry Wood walk. But they almost always have a throwaway line about the Aaron Miles signing.
That’s, of course, fine. But what troubles me is that in all of them, they assume two things: 1.) Aaron Miles is the new starter at 2nd base, and 2.) Aaron Miles is going to bat at the top of the order.
It’s rarely outright stated, of course. Instead, it’s just a rushed assumption - a casual inclusion, like, ‘oh yeah, the Cubs wear blue,’ or ‘and then there’s the ivy on the walls.’
This assumption is both bizarre and erroneous. Read the rest of the article for the reasons...
