Some interesting clips from Aaron Miles's Wikipedia page:
- He finished fourth in the 2004 Rookie of the Year voting. Willy Taveras was second in the 2005 vote.
- He almost made the roster for the 2004 Olympics - for Greece.
- He has pitched a shutout inning of relief in the Majors. Suck it, Paul Janish!
- In 2000, gunmen held him capitve in his hotel room during spring training. Miles was able to wrestle and subdue his captor. Police arrived shortly thereafter and shot the man while Miles held him against the ground.
This trade is fantastic.
