Andrew Miller's First 2011 Start A Promising One

Posted Jun 22, 2011
Andrew Miller's June 15 opt-out clause was looming the day after he completed his fourth-straight excellent start for Triple-A Pawtucket. If the opt-out had been scheduled for a few weeks earlier, Miller likely would not have garnered any interest from outside organizations, but thanks to 26 strikeouts and just four walks in his final 25-1/3 innings, it was a guarantee that if Boston didn't give him a spot, someone else would post opt-out.
