Andrew Miller says call-up to Florida Marlins was 'pleasant surprise'

Posted Aug 20, 2010
Andrew Miller, once seen as the big return prize in the Miguel Cabrera trade with the Tigers three years ago, arrived in Pittsburgh on Thursday sporting a curly mustache that would have made gunfighter Doc Holliday proud. Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez said as long as Miller pitches well out of the bullpen he can keep it. That, of course, would be a change for the 25-year-old former first-round pick. (Miami Herald)
