Why do the Reds sign Eric Milton who is an extreme fly ball pitcher... when they have a bandbox for a ballpark??

Why do the Cubs re-sign Neifi "sub-300 OBP" Perez to put at second base when they already have Todd Walker??

Because many of the guys running the show for MLB teams don't know **** about player/talent evaluation. Nor do they have a sense of what really matters in baseball. That's why.
