... today, Aaron Miles is not a lock to play 2nd. Apparently, for the weirdest and most incomprehensible of reasons, we are interested in Rich Aurilla. RICH FLIPPIN AURILLA!!! You know, Rickey states he is still available, and tells GMs everywhere not to lose his number. It would be nice to have an active Hall of Famer on our roster (wonder if that has ever happened??)
