In Terry Francona's script for the latest season of MLB's hit drama "Postseason Baseball," the most important player in the American League Championship Series may be a middle reliever.
This one just so happens to be played by one of the nastiest pitchers in the league.
It's a departure from the usual script, but it's a reality the Toronto Blue Jays must be prepared for with Game 1 of the ALCS set for Friday. Francona used Andrew Miller twice in the Cleveland Indians' AL Division Series sweep of the Boston Red Sox, and the lefty took no prisoners:
