Earlier during the winter the crew in charge at Fangraphs opened up their corner of the internet to the community for self publishing. It’s something they had done in the past, but had shut down for a little bit. It was re-opened on a limited basis and on Tuesday Christian Tinory had an article about Cincinnati Reds reliever Amir Garrett and how he’s looking like Andrew Miller out of the bullpen in some ways.
The thought behind the comparison is that when Andrew Miller went from bad starter to elite reliever the biggest change he made was adding a whole lot of velocity to his slider.
