PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Brad Miller's 2015 line at shortstop prompts a double take: 14 errors in 392 chances.
That's a .964 fielding percentage. Such a percentage at the free-throw line would put Steph Curry to shame. However, in baseball, there is a higher standard.
So when Miller joined the Rays via a trade with the Mariners in November, the questions began. Miller can hit, but can he field well enough to be the team's everyday shortstop?
The Rays believe he can.
"He's been at the position most of his life," said Tom Foley, Tampa Bay's infield/bench coach.
