Miller has the 'stuff' to be in the majors. I wonder if he benefits from throwing after Verlander, but before Bonderman in the rotation? Verlander puts guys into slumps...then Miller can get by throwing fast balls (from the other side). I am getting tired of the Tom Gage "Bonderman works to devolop a change up" article every spring training. I hope they emphasis this will Miller more than they did with Bonderman (different pitching coach). Miller is going to get shut down for a couple of starts in August/Sept anyway, so for anyone who wants to see Durbin, you will get your wish. I trust Leyland with the devolopment of talent.

He "belongs" developing his change-up and his confidence in using his breaking ball. If he were to throw more breaking balls i'd be more optimistic but he's not. When he threw them to Morneau he made him look foolish on 4 straight breaking balls before K'ing him. But he's strayed away from that and if he doesn't make the adjustment he's going to get rocked. Anyone can hit a fastball in the majors. Look at Zumaya early in the year when he was throwing nothing but gas, he was getting hit and being wild until he started using his breaking ball again.

It just seems dealing with Miller immediate future is profoundly down the list of actual important things to worry about this team. I'd worry about these few things: 1. The relief pitching putting out fires with gasoline. 2. A first baseman with 400 plus Tigers ab's whose 06-07 slugging % is only 20 points higher than Mike Hampton's career slugging % and well below Rick Rhoden's best four or five years. And I'm pretty sure at fiftysomething Rhoden could still beat Casey in a foot race. But then again so could a dead mule. 3. Mr. Platinum Sombrero still getting ab's. 4. Whether Lamont's potbelly will blot out the sun. As long as the Detroit Tigers are in contention and Miller is one of the top ten pitchers on the team he belongs in the majors.

I'd love to see what patterns appear. Can you use the pitch movement data to color-code the pitch location chart by pitch type? I’d love to see what patterns appear.
