We are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. I think that there are other alternatives that deserve a shot.
-
On the other hand, if you are right and they aren't going to give him the reps at Pawtucket, then he WILL never be a ML catcher, at least in our organization. Thats something they really should be doing, given the paucity of catchers around that can hit a baseball. Catching is largely a defensive position in the ML. Besides Mauer, who really is good at catching and hitting-I mean with an OPS of the league average or better? Not many. You gotta be able to defend behind the plate.

Here is a recent scouting report on Lavarnway: Well below-average speed. Rough overall catching skills. Limited range behind the dish and slow reactions. Tends to stab at offerings along with catching hand drifting when framing offerings. Average blocking skills, with need to improve how he controls balls bouncing out in front of him and fluidity of footwork. Has made strides with his catch-and-release mechanics since joining the organization. Hard worker and dedicated to honing craft. Despite improvements, catching skills are limited. Will need to increase defensive versatility. Projects as DH/bat off the bench at the major league level.

It doesn't have to be Millwood. It just can't be Miller time any more. He got bombed his last two times out. And the Rays are not even a strong offensive team. He hasn't corrected his control problems, and you just can't pitch that way.

Tonite he has the bases loaded with no one out and down 3-1 for the Jays right now
-
I would settle for a 4.50 ERA for our #7 SP
-
Lavarnay can hit, but he cannot field. Thats a problem. Not sure he will ever be a ML catcher.
-
I don't understand what the idea of signing him was if not to see what he could do for us, first in the minors (decent) then up with the Sox. I mean, why even bother giving him a contract. I don't think he will be the new Cliff Lee, but I KNOW I don't want to see Miller on the mound EVER AGAIN for the team.
-
At some point you have to admit that its not working. Its not just one start. Its at least two. And the others were against weak NL teams that can't hit. The wildness problem is still there. There are other #7 SP available to try out. Doubront at least has potential.
-
3-1 Jays.
-
You really want to see more of Miller? I don't.
-
Doubront pitched just two + innings this year. He needs another chance; so does Millwood.
-
Thanks.
-
The Marlins AND the Tigers. I don't think he can go down again. If they do that I believe he can become a FA. Thats the good news. Maybe the Yankmees will pick him up to replace El Guapo Colon.
-

I would rather see Doubrant or Aceves start than Miller. Hell, I would rather see Atchison start.
-
Lets see....three runs down.....Miller vs Price. Negative on the very winnability hypothesis. Unlikely is a better choice of words.

First, Miller didn't do well in his last start either. And second, his wildness problem has not yet been solved. Other teams have given him a shot and he was released from them too.There is no need to keep trying to squeeze water from a rock; there are alternatives.
-
Sure. Lets give up the rest of them to rent a pitcher for two months
-
Miller is the new DiceK. Its safe to say that the Andrew Miller experiment is over. And to think that we have another stiff going tomorrow night.....maybe Beckett will win on Sunday.
