The Book on Adam Miller

Prospect Info

Adam Miller
Born 11/26/1984
RHP, CLE

Miller, formerly known as 'Mr. 101' stemming from a late-season velocity reading before an arm injury in 2004, has dialed down his fastball since his teenage years, but still hits the mid nineties, working his two-seam fastball down, down, and down in the zone. His slider is one of the best in the minors, while his change is also above average.

After high expectations for 2007, Miller spent most of the season crippled by a series of minor hand and elbow injuries, which means we're still waiting to see how he handles big league pitching.

If he can stay healthy, he could be a very good starter in a year or two. If the Indians are very worried about that elbow, however, we may see him moved into a relief role. If so, his value will sink.

Player Updates and Notes

Adam Miller's 2007 value took a bump up yesterday, when Cleveland management inquired about bringing him up to the minors to temporarily replace C.C. Sabathia should Sabathia require DL time. While it looks like C.C. will stay active for now, it seems to show that Miller is first on the list of callups.
