Today's dingers by ex-Sox

[Cowch44]

3 ex-Sox secondbasemen, Durham, Miles, and Jiminez hit homers today. And Durham and Miles are doing good on their avg. too...Happy for them but it'd be nice to have a miles instead of a Dransdfelt.

Ray Durham is injured too much to be making over $7 million. I honestly don't miss him with Uribe and Harris. I liked Jimenez but he was a bad base-runner and played horrible defense at 2B (remember when he dropped the pop-up last season with bases loaded and 2 outs and let 3 runs score?). If we hadn't traded Aaron Miles, we wouldn't have Juan Uribe and last I checked Uribe has put up better numbers than Miles. Uribe is younger than Miles and can play SS, 2B, and 3B.

I forgot that it was Miles for Uribe...bet the Rockies feel kinda dumb for that.
...and Uribe's play today was totally awsome.

Miles is actually hitting quite well but he's no Uribe. The fact that Uribe can play 3 positions well (SS, 2B, and 3B), hit, and is younger than Miles makes him more valuable. Probably more valuable than Durham, Jimenez, and Miles. Don't forget that he may be our starting SS next season if Valentin leaves to free agency.
