Sources: The Diamondbacks have let teams know Shelby Miller is available in a trade. Price isn't nearly what it cost them eight months ago.

I'd be game

Only if it cost us virtually nothing. He has been horrible to the point of being unusable all season long (think Kyle Lohse or worse for a comparison). He even got sent down to the minors to "fix" what's wrong and then proceeded to come back to get shelled some more.

He is only 1 year removed from being a high upside solid performer with TORP potential. But I've read where scouts have said he just doesn't look right, both mentally and physically. I would hate for us to give up anything significant for him and then be stuck with the next Rick Ankiel.

That was a horrid at-bat for Profar.

I'd have DDJ in that spot myself, with Profar in the 8 hole.

defense needs to have their shit together today, AJ cant afford to throw any extra pitches because of errors

Yeah I want no part of Miller, unless he's almost free. He's been awful this year, There is a reason the DBacks are just trying to recoup anything of value for him

 

[Bmurph]

stop swinging at those

 

[Bmurph]

thats not a strike

 

[Bmurph]

[romeo212000]

[darrylgann]

Daniels admitted that he may have to consider a rental player before the Aug. 1 non-waiver Trade Deadline.

"I think the only real change is I was hoping we wouldn't consider a rental," Daniels said. "In my mind, we are open to longterm controllable acquisitions like Cole [Hamels] and down the line. It's still not my preference, but I'd be open to it."

Bottom line is he has to get some starting pitching in here if this team is going to contend for anything this year. 3 more weeks is too long to go, hoping Holland comes back right

Great play, Elvis.

 

[Bmurph]

EA that was good, cause Morales is slow as molasses

 

[Bmurph]

[Bmurph]

[Bmurph]

[donaldson79]
