When I look at Andrew Miller, I see the hope I have for KC Royals reliever Mike Minor. And it’s not out of the question that Miller’s present is Minor’s future.
I’m more qualified than the rest of you nimrods to discuss Mike Minor. In my former capacity as an amateur Braves blogger, I got to see quite a lot of him.
And aside from being injured nearly all the time, he was mostly mediocre as a starting pitcher.
Don’t get me wrong, Minor had his moments—a particular 10-strikeout game against the Mets in 2013 comes to mind.
