Tigers Top Ten Prospects - Number Two - Andrew Miller

by @ 5:22 pm. Filed under Andrew Miller

Coming in at number two, and the top pitching prospect in the Tigers’ minor league system, is the man with the wicked slider, Andrew Miller.  While the Tigers’ rotation may be set, one of those guys better look out because at some point, Miller is going to be in the there.  The only question is who’s spot is he going to take.  He can touch the high 90s, has the great slider and he keeps the ball down and gets a ton of ground balls.  He was the concensus number two prospect on all three lists and he’s very well deserving.

Miller was the best pitcher on one of the best college baseball teams (CWS runner up North Carolina) and he dropped to the Tigers because other teams were worried about how much it’d cost to sign him.  He struck out nine batters in five innings at Lakeland before getting a callup by the Tigers where he struggled with 10 walks in 10 1/3 innings.  He’ll start the season at Lakeland, but expect him to be at Erie in a couple of months.  Then in 2008, all bets are off and he very well could make the Tigers big league rotation.

    But he is definitely one of the most exciting pitching prospects on the planet right now. He should have an impact this season, especially with the Tiger question marks.

    Great blog, btw. Just made my list!
