Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Cleveland non tenders Adam Miller

Adam Miller was Cleveland top pitching prospects for the last few years. Injuries have sideline him and Cleveland Non tender him. He is a Texas native from Plano and has electric stuff. Here are his numbers via alink http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/m/adam-miller-2.shtml here are some info on his pitches Miller amasses strikeouts (9.2 per game) with his 92-95 mph four-seam fastball and 84-88 mph slider (both plus pitches), and induces groundball outs with his 88-91 mph sinker. I hope Ed Wade gives him alook he just had surgery on his middle finger In 2009 he had re constructive surgery on his middle finger. It was stage 1 of a multi stage operation. Recovery time is 6-9 months. He is 6'4 190

I don't know...

If Cleveland non-tendered him, it makes me suspect they think he will not make a full recovery, which is a definite possibility with this type of surgery. He might be worth taking a gamble on if he’d take a minor league deal, I suppose.

I agree that he’d be a worthwhile target, and I imagine a lot of teams will see him the same way. Houston might have an edge with their top-notch medical center….

Indians re-signed RHP Adam Miller to a minor league contract.

Miller missed all of 2009 due to finger surgery and is in danger of missing most of the 2010 season as well. The 25-year-old right-hander was the Indians first-round pick in the 2003 first-year player draft.
