Owen Miller is in Cleveland and playing baseball. This was the plan all along of course, but now it’s actually happening, and we get to see another piece in what could be a tremendously beneficial Mike Clevinger trade over the next couple of years. The type of trade that builds a team for the next decade.
A cloud hangs over his arrival with the loss of Franmil Reyes for nearly two months, which just means Miller has to perform well, and much sooner. His importance to the team couldn’t be more obvious. Luckily, he’ll have his chances.
As others have noted elsewhere throughout the last couple of days, Miller has superlative bat-to-ball skills, can play almost anywhere on the infield, and has hit at every level.
