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.
