The Cubs got Aaron Miles on a two-year contract, according to Cubs.com. He's a utility man - and has even pitched. Oh, I am so PITCHf/xing this infielder.
Gameday thinks he's chucking a knuckle-ball - I applaud the realtime effort, but, Mr. Miles himself says it's something else.
I was just throwing the old sinkerball
Two-seam fastball. But I can see why they'd call it a knuckler. Sits about 72 mph, touching 75 a couple of times. Sinks a bit, but not always. Mostly just flutters quietly towards the plate.
His whiff rate, .143, and that isn't bad for a fastball. Miles also did a good job of nibbling at the corners. But that's besides the point. I see him as Joey Gallagher to Ronny Cedeno's Felix Pie. Or Mark DeRosa is gone gone gone. Update He's gone. Peavy coming next????
Luis Vizcaino f/x is coming up later ...
