The current version of Andrew Miller, who signed a four-year, $36 million deal with the New York Yankees on Friday, is one of the best relievers in baseball. But do you really want to give a 29-year-old reliever who has had two good seasons a contract that runs twice that long?
Miller was the sixth overall pick in the 2006 draft, but he washed out as a starter due to poor command of his wipeout slider and the lack of a true third pitch, although the way the Detroit Tigers raced him to the majors couldn't have helped his development, either.
