Newsbreakers
September 6, 2009
The Score is reporting that the Florida Marlins have recalled lefty Andrew Miller from Triple-A New Orleans. Miller has a 4.81 ERA with the team this season.
Our View:
Miller has had his ups and downs with the Marlins this season, but the team hopes they can get something out of him down the stretch. With the inconsistent play of Sean West, Miller may get the chance to start for the team at some point.
August 11, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that Marlins' pitcher Andrew Miller threw a flat-ground session on Monday. Miller suffered an ankle injury while pitching with the Marlins' Triple-A affiliate.
Our View:
Miller is pitching in the minors while he tries to work out some kinks in his delivery, and it looks like he may be done with the Marlins for this season. Unless he gets it all figured out quick, don't expect to see much of him in a Marlins' uniform until 2010.
July 29, 2009
Andrew Miller faired poorly in his second Triple-A start, according to the Miami Herald. In just one inning, he allowed three hits, two walks, a hit batter, and four runs. He left after the inning complaining of a sprained ankle.
Our View:
It appears as if Miller will be in the minors for some time, seeing how he is performing so poorly this season. Anibal Sanchez remains hurt and Burke Badenhop will make a spot start on Saturday. If the Marlins do not trade for a pitcher, expect them to recall Sean West at some point.
July 21, 2009
The Miami Herald is reporting that the Florida Marlins have optioned starting pitcher Andrew Miller to Triple-A New Orleans. In a corresponding move, the team recalled corner infielder Gaby Sanchez from the Triple-A affiliate.
Our View:
Miller has show spurts of solid play this season, but overall his inconsistencies make him a very risky fantasy play. He is 3-5 with a 4.81 ERA in 14 starts with the club this season, and expect him to be back in the rotation for the Fish before long.
July 19, 2009
Andrew Miller was unimpressive on Sunday, lasting just 2.2 innings as Philadelphia cruised to a 5-0 win, and sweep, in Miami.
Our View:
Miller continues to be wildly inconsistent, and it's hard to justify owning him outside of NL-only formats.
July 4, 2009
Andrew Miller scattered seven hits over 6.2 innings of work on Saturday, while allowing three earned runs, which was enough to earn his third victory of the season, as the Marlins beat Pittsburgh 5-3.
Our View:
Miller is still a ways away from being a top-tier fantasy pitcher, but has been serviceable enough in 2009. In very deep mixed or NL-only leagues, he could be worth owning, and he is a decent spot-starting option in all formats.
June 28, 2009
Andrew Miller struggled a bit on Sunday as the Marlins fell to the Rays 5-2. Miller went 6.1 innings and allowed five runs on eight hits while walking one and striking out four. He is now 2-4 on the year.
Our View:
Miller has been pretty good as of late, but today wasn't one of his better efforts. Miller has the ability, but until he shows he can be consistent every time out his fantasy value will remain very high risk. NL-only leaguers may want to give him a look if you need a starter, but mixed leaguers should stay away.
June 23, 2009
Andrew Miller allowed only one hit over seven innings on Tuesday, but didn't factor into the decision as the Marlins eventually beat the Orioles 7-6 in 12 innings.
Our View:
It was the first time Miller had gone seven innings since May 21. He is still only a spot starting option at this point, but he is a good one because of his ability to pitch games like tonight.
June 11, 2009
Andrew Miller took a no-decision on Thursday in the Marlins 6-5 loss to the Cardinals. He gave up three earned runs in 6.1 innings while fanning eight.
Our View:
Miller's outing was going great until the sixth inning when he grooved a 3-1 fastball to Albert Pujols, who nearly hit the pitch into the upper deck of Landshark Stadium for a two-run home run. It was still a mostly positive showing for the young hurler, however, as had his first walk free start of the season in addition to the eight strikeouts.
June 6, 2009
Andrew Miller picked up his second win on Saturday as the Marlins defeated the Giants 5-4. Miller went 5.2 innings and allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits while walking one and striking out five.
Our View:
Miller has been much better as of late, and he is finally starting to show his abilities. Although he has been a major disappointment in his major league career so far, he is still young and he has the potential to turn into a very good fantasy pitcher. NL-only leagues should give him a look, but he is not quite at a mixed league level yet.
May 21, 2009
Andrew Miller had a strong start Thursday in the Marlins' 4-3 loss to Arizona. He allowed just two runs on four hits and two walks over seven innings and struck out nine.
Our View:
This was a very positive start for Miller as he's struggled with his control this season. Just two walks over seven innings was a big step forward. He's a talented young hurler (like the rest of the Marlins' staff) and if he can control his wildness will be very effective.
May 16, 2009
Andrew Miller made his return to the Marlins' rotation on Saturday, and he picked up the victory in Florida's 5-3 win over the Dodgers. Miller went five innings and allowed two runs on four hits while walking four and striking out four.
Our View:
Miller was better today than he was before his injury, but he still walked four in just five innings. Miller still has quite a bit of potential, and he could be useable in NL-only leagues right now. If he gets his control reigned in, he could be a good mixed league pitcher as well, but he is just not there right now.
May 11, 2009
Andrew Miller looked good through with 83 pitches and six innings in a rehab start with Double-A Jacksonville on Monday, allowing one run off five hits and two walks with five strikeouts, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Miller, coming off a strained left oblique, is scheduled to return to Florida's roster on Saturday and start against the Dodgers. While injuries and control have both always been major issues, Miller still does possess a nice skill-set and is worth picking up in NL-only leagues.
May 9, 2009
Andrew Miller, who is recovering from a strained right oblique, is on schedule to return to the Marlins' rotation next Saturday, according to the Miami Herald.
Our View:
This is good news, as Anibal Sanchez is dealing with a shoulder injury and will be on the shelf for two months. Hopefully Miller will pitch better upon his return, as he held a poor 6.94 ERA and 1.89 WHIP over 11.2 innings (two starts) prior to going down.
May 6, 2009
Andrew Miller had a successful first rehab start at Single-A Jupiter on Wednesday, according to MLB.com. He threw 60 pitches in four innings while allowing three hits and a walk, while striking out five. He will up the pitch count to 80-85 at Double-A on Monday. He is recovering from a strained oblique.
Our View:
Miller hopes to be ready to go for the Marlins on May 16, and the Marlins hope that he can be more effective once he is able to go again. Through his first four appearances, he has a 6.94 ERA and 1.89 WHIP.
May 6, 2009
Andrew Miller is slated to pitch in a minor league rehab game today in Jupiter, Florida, according to MLB.com. He is recovering from a strained right oblique.
Our View:
If he fares fine, Miller will make another rehab start Monday with Double-A Jacksonville. He is nearing his return to the Marlins' rotation, and shall remain stashed in NL-only leagues.
May 4, 2009
Andrew Miller threw a bullpen session Monday, according to the Miami Herald. He has been recovering from a strained right oblique.
Our View:
Miller will need at least two rehab starts before returning to the Marlins. He will make a start Wednesday with Class-A Jupiter and another on Monday with Double-A Jacksonville. Miller is hoping that additional stretching exercises will improve his flexiblity and prevent the injury from happening again.
May 2, 2009
Pitcher Andrew Miller (oblique) had another fruitful bullpen session on Saturday morning, and he will likely make a minor league rehab start on Tuesday, the Miami Herald reports.
Our View:
Miller may not need more than one or two rehab starts before he rejoins the Marlins rotation. Let's hope he learned how to throw strikes during the time off.
April 29, 2009
Pitcher Andrew Miller threw 30 pitches in a bullpen session on Monday, and he came through without pain. He is out due to a strained right oblique. Miller will make at least one minor league rehab outing before returning to the majors, the Miami Herald notes.
Our View:
The Marlins are wisely taking it slow with Miller. Oblique strains have a habit of lingering, and they want to make sure Miller is fully over this injury before he returns to the majors.
April 20, 2009
The Marlins placed Andrew Miller on the 15-day DL with a right oblique strain after his rough outing against the Pirates on Monday, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Miller apparently tweaked the muscle in a relief outing on April 11, which would help explain why he was unable to make it out of the fifth inning in either of his two starts. He's only worth owning in the deepest of leagues at this point. Burke Badenhop will be recalled from Triple-A New Orleans to fill Miller's spot on the roster and is a candidate for the No. 5 spot in Florida's rotation.
April 20, 2009
Andrew Miller was again less than satisfactory in his second start of the season on Monday, giving up four runs off five hits and four walks while striking out one in a loss to the Pirates.
Our View:
While he is still just 23 years old, it's tough to feel too confident that the lefty will ever be able to get his above-average stuff together for a consistent grouping of starts. It's tough to recommend owning him in any format at this point.
April 8, 2009
Andrew Miller loaded the bases and recorded just one out as he appeared in relief of Chris Volstad in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Nationals. Miller was needing to get some work in as the Marlins schedule allows them to skip their fifth starter the first time through the rotation.
Our View:
Miller has all the potential in the world, but if he ever reaches a level of success it will definitely be as a starter. He had a poor season last year, and should be considered a risk in fantasy leagues.
April 2, 2009
Andrew Miller has been named the fifth starter in the Marlins' rotation, according to MLB-Blogs.com.
Our View:
He will make his first start April 15 against the Braves. The 23-year-old has great potential and is worth targeting as a sleeper for NL-only leagues.
March 30, 2009
Andrew Miller had one of his best starts of spring training as the Marlins fell to the Cardinals 2-1 on Monday. He allowed no runs in six innings while giving up four hits, a walk, and striking out three.
Our View:
Miller has had a rocky spring, but he still has a spot in the Marlins talented rotation. He is still just 24, and he's only an effective third pitch away from being a front of the rotation starter. However, it's anyone's guess if the third offering will ever be developed.
March 20, 2009
Andrew Miller allowed two earned runs on six hits over five innings in Friday's 8-6 win over Atlanta, with one walk and two strikeouts.
Our View:
Miller continues to struggle in spring training, as he holds a 7.82 ERA. He needs to step up in his next outing if he expects to hold onto the fifth spot in the Marlins' rotation.
March 14, 2009
Andrew Miller allowed four runs, three earned, over four innings of work in the Marlins 9-5 win over the Twins on Saturday. He allowed three hits, three walks, and a home run while striking out two hitters.
Our View:
It's been a fairly pitiful spring for the 24-year-old. The Marlins would like to insert him into their rotation, but he has given them every reason not to. In 7.2 innings, he has allowed 13 hits, five walks, and nine earned runs. At this point, he does not look like one of the youngsters worth gambling on.
January 13, 2009
Andrew Miller had another shock-wave therapy procedure on his right knee last month, according to the Palm Beach Post. The follow-up procedure was planned when Miller, who spent time on the disabled list last year with knee tendinitis, had it done the first time last summer.
Our View:
The lefty started working out last week in Jupiter and is expected to be ready for spring training. He doesn't need to be drafted in fantasy leagues but certainly has the talent to be a waiver wire pick-up.
