Miller DFA’d, Albers reinstated from DL, Broxton optioned

[And That]

Good luck to Miller. It was a nice try, but unfortunately, his defense ended up being almost as bad as some feared, and his offense was worse than expected, so it wasn't worth the trade off.

He really didn't get much of a chance, but he certainly wasn't cutting it in his short stint. At this point we need to get stable guys in here we can count on. I think in the long run he would have been okay...but the time ran out on him.

Miller got a shot and needed to deliver. He didn't get it done.

He could have been optioned. Need that 40 man spot for another trade though!

I believe he was over 5 years of service time, which means he could refuse optional assignment. He was a little short of 5 years when he was optioned the first time.

Good point. Totally forgot about that, but alas it's much more fun to speculate about needing the 40 man spot

Pretty obvious move with all the good LHB's they have now. Saladino is the only other SS and Villar is a solid defender because of his range and is much better as an RHB, as clearly shown by his career splits. Perez is also safe because they can't count on Braun or Santana.

I hope Broxton comes back up for the next Cubs series. He always seems to hit them and they are all lefties atm.

Yes Broxton should be the next man up love the guys hustle and defense
