I Can See For Aaron Miles and Miles

I love to say "I told ya so," but I told ya so. Just had a conversation with a friend on Saturday who told me the Dodgers were interested in acquiring future Hall of Famer, Michael Young from Texas. The Rangers oddly decided to part ways with Vlad Guerrero and sign the aging Adrian Beltre, who came off one good year in tiny Fenway, to replace the great Michael Young at 3rd base. Why would they do that? I have no idea, but knowing Michael Young, who is one of the greatest Rangers of all time and is still in his prime, would not be happy about the deal and would certainly ask for a trade, is tantalizing to clubs who lack a third baseman or shortstop. The Dodgers have Casey Blake and, therefore, lack a third baseman. But, alas, the Dodgers selfish, evil, and, perhaps, temporary owner(s) would never allow a deal to be made for a player of Young's caliber, especially given their ongoing ownership debacle. This is not an organization that has any intention of winning more than half their games in 2011 and would never be in the running for a potential season-changing, impact player like Young, whom they desperately need.

"No," I told my naive friend, "look for the Dodgers to sign a free agent who can't find a team, like journeyman, Aaron Miles and try to pawn him off as their answer to their infield depth and offensive impotence, rather than pursue someone like Young." Today, I read that the Dodgers have indeed offered a contract to Aaron Miles. So pathetic and so predictable has this organization become.
