Real quick -

DeRosa - 2 WAR

Miles - .5 WAR

Fontenot - 1.5 WAR

So, if Fontenot sees most of the playing time, it's not a huge difference. If Miles sees most of the playing time, it's pretty sucky.

It sucks regardless unless they revisit the B. Roberts situation. Miles is not better than DeRosa .I don't trust Fontenot with a full workload.Stop trying to get Peavy because he's not worth 5-6 players with his sometimes creaky health.

really sucks here is the white sox.

oh wait, and the fact that we still dont know who the owner is.

Neifi Miles?

He's got to be our utility/bench guy. With the seasoned lineup we have now, I think we can let Fontenot have a reasonable shot at being a starter.

Concentrate on Bradley. As cool as it would be to have Peavy, he's a luxury, not a necessity.
