3. Andrew Miller
Another player who started the year strong, but a string of injuries made Miller into a pitcher who simply was nowhere near as dominant as he was back in his first two years with the Tribe.
The Indians did everything they could to give time to get healthy, and during a two-week stretch in August he did appear to get some movement and velocity back, but then it went away again, and by the postseason it was over.
Miller ended the year 2-4 with a 4.24 ERA, consider last season he was 4-3 with a 1.44 ERA, and you can see that something it clearly not right.
It will be tough for him to cash in big this offseason, more so at age 33, but again like with Allen, it’s hard to think the Indians are going to be in the running for his services.
Early Guess – Just like with Allen, look for Miller to take a 1-2 year deal at most with a team looking for some relief help with the thought of him trying to get right and trying to get back to the form that made him nearly unhittable the last couple of seasons. He won’t be back with the Tribe.
