UNC's Miller carries high Draft status

Posted May 13, 2006

Armed with command of a sinking fastball in the low-90s and a power curveball that could be his best pitch, Andrew Miller, the 6-foot-6 southpaw, is expected to be one of the top picks in the upcoming First-Year Player Draft on June 6. The Kansas City Royals have the first pick, followed by Colorado, Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh. And while there is no clear-cut choice for the top selection, there are at least a few folks who feel that it should be "Miller Time" as soon as the draft begins. (MLB.com)
