Today is the day. Yesterday Brad Miller said that there was no way he could know just how he was doing with his early work in outfield because he had yet to play out there. Practice is one thing, game speed is another. Tonight Brad Miller will get his first exposure to game speed in the outfield.
Miller has been receiving extra work in the outfield under the watch of Andy Van Slyke for the better part of the last two weeks. Chris Taylor is now the shortstop and Miller can't DH forever. Tonight is just step one in a transition that will take time.
