Brad Miller Is A League-Average Shortstop; Brad Miller Is An Ex-Shortstop

Soooo, Brad Miller will henceforth be the M’s version of Ben Zobrist, roving around the IF a bit and the OF a lot. With Chris Taylor in the fold, the M’s have a guy who can probably get to league average overall, and certainly has the defensive chops to handle shortstop. Brad Miller’s purported versatility allows the M’s to take advantage of their depth at the SS position to cover some of the holes that have appeared in the line-up. It’s even possible, per Lloyd McClendon, that the move to various spots further down the defensive spectrum will help his offense: “I think as a result I became a better offensive playe,” Lloyd told Ryan Divish.
