So for fun tonight, I have decided I would list people I would rather see playing at second base in 2010 other than Aaron Miles.
BOO!
I have thought long and hard about this, and I have come up with these individuals, and my reasoning behind it.
Any Current Cub: Mike Fontenot, Jeff Baker, Ryan Theriot, even Milton Bradley or Alfonso Soriano. This is obvious. Any of the current Cubs can a) field better and b) hit better.
Any Current Member of the Chicago Bears: Yeah, they can't block or defend in football, but I bet they could at least get to an infield grounder, and I bet most of them can hit better than .200 (well, maybe Jay Cutler can't).
My Daughter: She's fast. And she can catch balls that I roll to her. She won't need much of an arm to play 2nd and at her age, her arm isn't too strong yet. And judging by the way she can hit the ball with her little play tee-ball thingy, I'm fairly sure she would be around a .250 hitter in the big-leagues.
She'll at least be starting at 2nd base in 2030
Snoopy: While I do have a dog named Snoopy (one of the Rally Dachshunds), he isn't much of a baseball player. I am referring to Charlie Brown's dog. He can really turn a double play.
This guy:
Ryne Sandberg: He can still play. And he's still in the organization. He'll be easy to get on the roster. Maybe he could be a player manager after this coming season.
Joe Morgan: I hate him. But not as much as I hate Aaron Miles.
April Morgan: I don't know anything about her, but she appears to be at least a foot taller than Miles and she's better looking. And she could probably act better than Miles plays baseball.
Harry Caray's rotting corpse: The guy knew a lot about baseball. Laying his body out by second base would probably block a few more balls from going out into the outfield than if Miles was playing over there.
Stevie Wonder: He could play second base with his eyes closed...and sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame!
Stevie Nicks: She has a lower voice and more facial hair than Aaron Miles.
and finally...
Ron Santo: Yeah, he has no legs, but he can cover more ground on the infield than Miles.
He'll beat baserunners with his cane!
And to end our fun day, here is the Mesa promo video to try to keep the Cubs from moving to Florida...honestly, after seeing this, I want them to move to Naples now.

Today was my favorite post yet...minus the video. I mean it was entertaining, but what did it have to do with the CUBS?
Awesome post....keep the good ideas coming!!
That video I think is a demonstration as to why the Cubs might actually be seriously considering a move to Naples, Florida. It really gave no reason as to why the Cubs should stay in Mesa.
