Since 2013, Andrew Miller has been the most dominant reliever in baseball, providing his teams with years of high volume appearances and microscopic ERAs (2.02 in ’14, 2.04 in ’15, 1.45 in ’16 and 1.44 in ’17). If the latest Cubs rumors are to be believed, the team is talking with the southpaw.
He’s almost like the Godfather of the modern day usage of bullpens, trailblazing and revolutionizing how relievers are perceived and used in today’s “bullpen era” just as Hall of Famer Goose Gossage did decades before.
In recent years, there hasn’t been anybody in professional baseball more effective in that role than Andrew Miller.
