Someone that we haven't talked about lately is Wade Miller.

When I was searching through the minor league stats I came across Wade Miller stats from Peoria. Are these from earlier in the season or is he finally starting his rehab assignment? Does anyone here think Miller will be a Cub next year?

On a side note, Augie Ojeda has pitched one scoreless inning for Iowa this year.

Will Wade Miller be back next year?

Yes, for a deal similar to this year.

I heard he won't be able to pitch this year bc he isn't able to get his velocity high enough. We don't really lose much by resigning him, might as well go ahead and do it.

gosh

I forgot we even had wade miller.

Resign him, and see what he has in spring training.

Exactly..

..we might as well re-sign him...we could probably do it for no more than this year. I think he is only getting 1M this year. Plan on him being a long reliever and see how it goes in Spring Training. But definitely don't pull a Wood and Prior with him and expect him to be in the rotation.

Mean people suck!!!

Miller to pitch Monday in Peoria

Last I heard was that Miller's velocity was way down in early July, but he's making a start on Monday. Here's an update from http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060728&content_id=1579604&vkey=news_mlb &fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb

Wade Miller (shoulder) will make his next Minor League rehab start on Monday for Class A Peoria, and is expected to throw 50-60 pitches. Does Miller still think he will pitch this season for the Cubs? "That's why I'm pitching in Peoria," he said. "I'm not doing it just so I can say I pitched in Peoria."

......

Also, newly acquired pitcher Joel Santo (from the Scott Williamson trade) is scheduled to pitch in relief following Miller's start on Monday. In other words, Monday will likely feature pitchers we'll never see pitching for the Chicago Cubs.
