Will Wade Miller EVER pitch this season? Or Next?
This item caught my eye this morning...
"Wade Miller will make his next rehab start Friday for Double-A West Tenn."
I may be a tad cynical but here we are in mid August, 7 weeks of baseball left, and this guy is still a wreck in motion. Obviously the season is lost but will the Cubs still bring him up? And for what reason - trade bait or a spot on the 2007 rotation?

I might agree if

I'm sure you're right
I'd be very happy with a few quality starts from here on out to build up his trade value and have him shipped out to somewhere else. I wish Saskatchewan or Siberia had a team.

He'd have to clear waivers

I'm not talking about a trade this season
However, I do think that if he were to have a couple of real good starts between now and the end of the season, it would make trading him easier.

not to be rude

Sorry
I'd like to give both of them starts, but If I had to choose one or the other, I'd rather give them to Miller. However, both of those guys are below the needs of Marshall, Marmol, Hill, and Guzman.
I'm seriously done with Prior and would like to see him out of town. Anything that could or should not be done to do that would have my blessing. Maybe the best thing to do would be to sit him because he looks more and more embarassing every time he steps on the mound.
From a value standpoint, the best thing would be for Prior to make a few successful starts and then trade him.

That is ALL sunk cost

Take starts away from Prior???
a.) Work out what ever is going on in that head of his. He is going through the worst stretch of his baseball career.....I'm not talking just college, high school, minors or MLB.....I am talking since he was in little league here. He is working on a new grip for his curveball and needs to either go back to what was working or, as someone else mentioned, hit up more bullpen sessions.
b.) Compile quality starts and prove to be healthy. I know I will get reemed for this....but the Tampa Bay Devil Rays have inquired a number of teams regarding major league ready pitching.....and have hinted at Carl Crawford being available for such......

Plus, that adds another left handed
