When the Detroit Tigers signed Mike Aviles in the off season, the general consensus was, "Huh?" I mean, sure, he has defensive flexibility. And he's not... slow. But, those were the nicest things we could come up with.

We're three months into the season and those are still the nicest things to be said about the 34-year-old utility man. He doesn't excel at any one position and his bat is a negative, no matter how you try to spin it. So the question remains, if you have Andrew Romine, what would you say you do here?
