That's true, at least he isn't a Ray. Or worse yet... a Yankee And he gets to stay close to home. And I read somewhere in an interview when he was playing for Carolina that the Marlins were his favorite team, so it's probably all good for him. Now I have to buy mlb tv to see him

Actually I heard he's a Braves fan. He'll be in their division though!

A Bravos fan? hmmm. that's just plain adorable.

I love him even more now.

Really? I swear I read he was a Marlins fan.... either way... THIS SUCKS!!

Andrew Miller (baseball)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrew Mark Miller (born May 21, 1985, in Gainesville, Florida) is a pitcher for the Florida Marlins. He was the first player drafted in 2006 to make the major leagues.

College

After attending Buchholz High School in Gainesville, Miller pitched for the University of North Carolina, where he went 27-9. In his third and final year, he went 13-2 with a 2.48 ERA, leading the Tar Heels to the College World Series and to the national championship game, in which they lost to Oregon State. This southpaw dominated college hitters with his fastball (mid to upper 90s) and a devastating slider. Compared often to a young Randy Johnson, Miller stands 6'6" and is one of the top up and coming youngsters in the nation.

Miller was named 2006 College Player Of The Year by Baseball America. He also won the 2006 Roger Clemens Award.

MLB draft

Before deciding to play college baseball in North Carolina, Miller was drafted by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in third round (68th overall) of the 2003 MLB Amateur Entry Draft. He was drafted again in 2006, this time 6th overall by the Detroit Tigers, and agreed to a contract with a guaranteed value of $5.45 million and a signing bonus of $3.55 million on August 4, 2006.

Minor leagues

Miller had a very brief stint in the minor leagues before getting called up to the Major Leagues. He made his pro debut on August 20, 2006 with the high-A Lakeland Tigers against the Fort Myers Miracle, striking out two batters and allowing no baserunners in one inning. His stint with Lakeland lasted less than a week, as he pitched his third and final outing six days later, once again against the Miracle. After five scoreless innings in three outings, he was called up to the major leagues.

Major leagues

Scouting report

Andrew Miller is widely regarded as the best pitcher in the 2006 draft which was laden with quality pitchers. His pitches include a mid to upper 90s fastball, a late-breaking slider and a change-up. His development should progress nicely in the major leagues after he acquires a better change-up and location to his pitches.[citation needed]

2006

Miller made his major league debut on August 30 against the New York Yankees, pitching one scoreless inning and allowing only one baserunner on a hit by pitch.

2007

While Miller did not make the opening day roster for the Tigers, he made his first major league start May 18, 2007 versus the St. Louis Cardinals in place of injured starter Jeremy Bonderman. Miller earned his first major league victory in his season debut, pitching 6 scoreless innings and giving up 4 hits while walking 3 and striking out 2. Miller showed his full potential in this game but he was sent back to the Minors as Bonderman recovered from injury. Miller was later recalled while Nate Robertson was sent to the disabled list with arm fatigue. He earned a 15-7 victory over the New York Mets behind another superb offensive backing by his teammates. As of June 24th, 2007 Miller's best game pitched was a six inning performance in Atlanta allowing 4 hits and no runs while also striking out two batters and walking two ending in a 5-0 Tigers victory

2008

On December 4, 2007, the Tigers traded Miller, Cameron Maybin, Mike Rabelo, Dallas Trahern, Eulogio de la Cruz and Burke Badenhop to the Florida Marlins for Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera.[1]

Boy, whoever updates these wiki things sure does them fast!

Okay, here it says his favorite pro teams are the Florida Marlins and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Either way, it has to be better for him to be that close to home.

Yes, it's pretty much done. I guess they have to wait until tomorrow to file all the paper work or some bs.

He said in an interview on wxyz.com (go there and try and find it if you want) that because of TBS and that was "all the baseball he got" he was a Braves fan growing up. I think Granderson said that, too for the same reason but I'm nowhere near 100% on that one.
