Any reason Miller wasn't added? Seems to me the Indians are greatly overvaluing McAllister, and there was no need to add him just as there was no need to add Kelvin de la Cruz and Rivero last year
I second what Seth said...
Look at it this way. In the past 3 seasons McAllister has pitched more than 420 innings as one of the younger pitchers in his league, racking up 315 strikeouts and a respectable ERA over that period. He gave up a ton of hits this year, but he is a well known commodity that, given his age, is probably valued by a lot of clubs.
Adam Miller pitched 28 innings 3 seasons ago. Since then, the only action he has seen is a handful of innings in the Instructional League. He's given teams a lot less of a record to go off of in considering a rule 5 pick and a roster spot. I'm as big a cheerleader as any Miller fan, but in some ways it would have been shocking if he had been rostered.
I think someone will take a flier on him - if he's healthy you get an upper 90s fastball for $50,000. If he's not, it only cost $25,000 to check him out.
I hope I'm wrong, but if I were a GM looking for a good heater, I'd be looking at Miller.
There are plenty of Zack McAllisters around the league. In the Indians own weak-in-starting-pitching system, he'd be what, 8th as a starting option? Carmona, Masterson, Talbot, Carrasco, Huff, Gomez, Tomlin ... McAllister? Where is a guy like that going to fit on a major league team's 25 man roster? Seriously, if he isn't even in the conversation for the Indians' rotation, you think someone else is going to use him? He's not someone you'd use in the bullpen either, not a hard thrower, not a strikeout pitcher (Tomlin, not a strikeout pitcher obviously, has a better career K-rate than McAllister) ... Miller still has upside as a reliever, McAllister is what he is, a starting pitching depth option.
