Andrew Miller would definitely fall into the “disappointment” column for 2019. After signing a two year/$25M deal this offseason, the St. Louis Cardinals set up man has not lived up to the hype expected.
Call it old age (he’s 34) or call it overuse over the past few years. On the stat sheet, Miller has been a disappointment. His 4.04 ERA and 106 ERA+ would be better than his 2018 performance but still nowhere near his completely dominant 2.01 ERA and 213 ERA+ from 2012 to 2017.
While Miller’s stat sheet numbers don’t look great, he has made some big plays in big situations, harkening back to the dominant reliever he used to be, but in the same sense, he has also given up some big hits in key spots as well.
