Yankees outright Jim Miller to Triple-A
ByThe Yankees have outrighted Jim Miller to Triple-A, the team announced. The right-handed reliever was designated for assignment earlier this week to clear room on the 40-man roster for Ichiro Suzuki.
Miller, 30, was claimed off waivers from the Athletics late last month. He pitched to a 2.59 ERA (4.74 FIP) in 48.2 innings for Oakland last year and owns a 2.42 ERA (4.42 FIP) with big strikeout (8.10 K/9 and 20.4 K%) and walk (5.12 BB/9 and 12.9 BB%) rates in 63.1 career big league innings.

Guess they like him better than Mickey Storey, who passed through waivers for Toronto.
Ah, this is nice. Bullpen stockpile.
Suppose full 40 man rosters allowed Yanks to stock Spence and Miller in AAA. Wouldnt be surprised if one of them goes North in April
As much criticism as Cash is getting here, I love these below-the-radar moves with possible middle relief guys. Certainly better than picking up wrecks like Buddy Groom or Chad Qualls and hoping to get lucky – these guys have had recent success as middle-innings guys and now they are there for depth.
Cash takes a lot of abuse but he’s pretty good at digging through the scrap heap… Or it could also be the team has a good pro-scouting department. Yankees have no trouble acquiring quality relievers of late.
Wish we could have kept Mickey Storey though!!
