danman31 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I saw Miller wasn't on the listed Warthogs' roster on milb.com so I did some searching to see what happened. I found this press release on the Carolina League website. WHITE SOX MAKE WARTHOGS' PLAYER MOVES May 27, 2005 Winston-Salem, NC - The Chicago White Sox made two Winston-Salem Warthogs' player moves on Friday. Shortstop, Robert Valido, is activated off the suspended list. Valido missed the last 15 games after violating the Minor League Drug Abuse and Prevention Program. Valido ranks sixth in the Carolina League with a .313 batting average and has three home runs with 14 RBIs. Valido is also tied for the league lead with 11 stolen bases. Also Friday, the White Sox released pitcher Brian Miller. Miller was 0-0 with a 6.19 ERA in 11 appearances out of the bullpen. The Warthogs active roster is at 25.

dasox24 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) Sucks to see Miller released. He had a lot of promise when we drafted him out of high school. He was decent last year, but that's about the only good year he's had. Control has always been an issue with him, too.

Chisoxfn Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Phil Rogers said he had easy 95 MPH heat. Boy was he wrong. Nothing against Miller but he was never as good as BA hyped him up to be. Wish him the best though, he was a hard worker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was usually lucky if he could hit 90-91. Too bad for Brian, good luck to him wherever he ends up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 I'm assuming he doesn't have much stuff. He gives up a boatload of hits without striking out that many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
