Andrew Miller will forever be one of my favorite players for what he did in the 2016 playoffs. Maybe that’s why, despite the fact he hasn’t played for the Indians in two years and he hasn’t played well for the Indians in three years, I still follow him and want him to do well.
Unfortunately, he’s not doing well right now. A pair of bad seasons and a string of disappointing outings have Miller confused and the Cardinals sitting him for the foreseeable future while he tries to figure everything out.
Acquired in a midseason deal months before the playoffs started, few could have known the kind of impact he’d have in getting the Indians to the 2016 World Series, let alone the way he carried the team on his back in the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays.
