Miles coming into today had a 2.17 ERA, and 3.05 xFIP. How the hell does a pitcher with only 4.1 innings above rookie ball over a 4 year period come in and do this? The numbers aren't a fluke. He really is pitching this well.
League average this year is .239 with a .705 OPS. That will likely improve as the batters heat up in the summer, but there's a lot of good hitters who are having a terrible start to the year.
The problem is, most teams have the same issue. Outfielders tend to be skewed much more to lefties. The problem is kind of our own. We need to stop worrying so much about platoon advantages and just have the best bat in the lineup.
Pinango for Isaac Collins would be nice but they'd have the same issue we do. Same for Foscue with the Rangers.
I could maybe see the Cubs wanting a lefty outfielder but I'm not sure what the return would be. Maybe Jordan Beck with the Rockies when he comes off the IL.
