I’m really looking forward to Miller’s start this weekend. Hopefully he can stay up a little longer this time and produce like he should. It’s Miller Time!

I say package nate robertson along with maroth, and possibly sean casy and see if you could get texaira away from texas.could you imagine the lineup.He is unhappy in texas and wants to be traded.

Honestly though, what is Maroth’s value and what would we be able to get in return for him? I have a hard time gaging how much interest/return we’d get on trading him.

Trade Maroth, and get some prospects as soon as possible.

Miller time should be good times for Tiger fans. I’m excited to see what he can do over a few starts. Obviously, something isn’t right with Nate – and being the bulldog that he is – he’d be the last to say anything. Heck, he may not even realize something’s wrong himself. Here’s hoping he’ll be okay. We need him – Miller or no Miller.

My hunch is that Miner ends up in the rotation by the end of the year. We know he has the stuff. It’s just a matter of throwing strikes.

Here’s hoping Nate gets it back together. He’s still young enough to be a very solid starter for a few years.

No to Maroth in the bullpen, for the reasons you stated. Durbin’s not going to pitch this well all year, but if he can just be league average or a little worse, there’s no fault in keeping him in the 5 spot. I honestly don’t see Maroth being around after the trade deadline, even if that means a Miner/Durbin 4-5 is used (Leyland loves guys that do well for him in the past, even to a fault, as we know).

And how interesting people were jumping off of Miller’s stock when he was in High-A and not having a good K rate (15.7% k/pa) and now that he’s K’ing people like he can (21.6%), everyone’s back on his side in prospect communities.
