JonDigital Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Marlins agreed to terms with RHP Justin Miller on a one-year, $750,000 contract. And they call the Marlins cheap. Miller, who spent 2006 in Japan, quietly had a nice season for the Marlins after being called up in mid-May, finishing with a 3.65 ERA and a 74/24 K/BB in 61 2/3 innings. He'll be back in a sixth- and seventh-inning role next year. Per Rotoworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnino Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Good. I like Miller. He is a good stop gap if for injuries during the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherrealfan Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Wonderful, more garbage in middle relief. Miller did a good job last year. Recall how often he came in to clean up someone else's mess. I am happy with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nny Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I still don't get why we would give someone who could make the minimum 400k more than we would have to. Unless he got some Japan offer we didn't know about (he has played in Japan before), just doesn't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passion Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I think thats a really good deal actually especially as teams pay absurd amounts for middle relievers. He had 74 K's in 62 IP last year. That is made of win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flasportsfan88 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Does this mean he's guaranteed a bullpen spot? I mean, if Owens has anywhere near a decent spring its going to look like Gregg Owens Kensing Gardner Pinto Tankersley Lindstrom Wheres Miller? I don't want to see Kensing or Pinto in AAA opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to see Kensing or Pinto in AAA opening day. I guess swap out Gardner. You mean the sub 2.00 ERA Gardner, the best reliever last season? Not knocking him. You asked the question. Pick someone else then. I'm just figuring that ultimately guys like Gardner and Miller might not be in the picture down the road with all the young arms we have. You'd have to take the "stuff" of all the other guys in the pen over Gardner I would think. Then again it's always nice to have a few "crafty vets" in the pen too, so who knows. Just a thought. I mean who else? It's gotta be from the Gardner/Miller/Kensing/Owens foursome, everyone else would be a lock IMO. *ah, nm, if Owens isn't back til the break it's moot.

Eddie Altamonte Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I am very happy for Justin Miller he earned that contract, He is really depenable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcwkm Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 why does girardi have anything to do with mitre. girardi left the cubs after 2002 at that time mitre was still pitching in A-ball. dont expect mitre to be out of the rotation until he is traded. he pitches much better starting over relieving and hes putting it together.
