| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | What makes Shelby Miller's 92-94 so much harder to hit than everybody else's? (Martin from Houston) | He has excellent extension, so the 92-94 looks more like 94-96; he throws it downhill on a steep plane and it features good late life. The combo makes it a monster pitch that is difficult to square up. (Jason Parks) |
| 2012-01-26 13:00:00 | Piggybacking off of the Shelby Miller question: Does Neil Ramirez's fastball behave the same way? (MonkeyEpoxy from College Station) | It does. Ramirez has excellent extension on the pitch and creates good plane to the plate. Add the velo and the movement and the pitch becomes more than just its radar gun reading. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-12-14 13:00:00 | Hey Jason. I like Shelby Miller.
(Kevin from Texas) | Hey Kevin. I like Shelby Miller as well. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-12-14 13:00:00 | Would you put these in order of highest ceiling to lowest: Gerrit Cole, Teheran, Shelby Miller, Jarrod Parker, Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Tyler Skaggs. Thanks! (Jeff from WDC) | Cole, Miller, Teheran, Wheeler, Parker, Skaggs,Harvey (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-12-02 14:00:00 | Will Shelby Miller make any starts for St. Louis in '12? I heard both Westbrook and Lohse have full no-trade clauses, so do Cards fans then need to hope for a Westbrook injury to get Miller called up? (GBSimons from Boise, ID) | If the over/under on big league starts for Miller in 2012 is 0.5, I'm betting heavy on the over. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-10-31 13:00:00 | Any chance the Cardinals could steal Joe Maddon from the Rays--and would it be a good fit? One year left on his deal, and he's an admitted Cardinals fan... (Andy from Chicago) | It seems like anything is possible this winter, and if the Cards are willing to trade Shelby Miller in compensation, perhaps the Rays would think about it--Maddon is signed through the end of next season. However, as creative as Maddon has been with the Rays, are we sure he's the right fit for the Cardinals? With the lineup aging, I'm not sure that this team's window is going to be open that much longer. (Steven Goldman) |
| 2011-07-29 13:00:00 | Matt Moore is to Shelby Miller as Albert Pujols is to _______. (Matt from Saranac Lake, NY) | Someone really good but nowhere as good as Albert Pujols. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-07-21 16:00:00 | Hey Jason, with Drew going down for the year I'm left with Chipper (DL) and Peralta for my SS/3B who are some available pick ups to see me through? (Brian from Rhode Island) | I lost Drew too and was immediately offered Ryan Theriot and Tyler Skaggs for Shelby Miller. Um, no. I'm not sure you're going to find anyone better than Peralta on the pickup pile; Peralta is hitting .351 over the last 20 or so games with 12 runs and 11 RBI. (Jason Collette) |
| 2011-07-21 16:00:00 | In a dynasty league where I'm likely to make the playoffs, would you move Pineda for Cliff Lee? How do you weigh the present against the future in such a situation? (doog7642 from MN) | As my good friend Cory Schwartz says, Flags Fly Forever. I know I crapped on trading Shelby Miller earlier, but Ryan Theriot is not winning me a flag. Cliff Lee brings home the bacon....I do that deal. (Jason Collette) |
| 2011-06-17 13:00:00 | Is Shelby Miller the best pitching prospect in baseball right now? Seems like he's pushing up his timetable with every start. (Mike from STL) | Yes. I think Miller is the best arm in the game right now. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-05-18 13:00:00 | Aside from Harper, Trout, Montero & Brown, and with Hosmer, Hellockson, Chaoman & Teheran now in the majors, who occupies the remaining spots in the Top 10 at this point. (commish from nyc) | While I should defer to Kevin Goldstein on this question, I'd have to say Mike Moustakas is right there with those guys. That's five. Then let's say John Lamb, Jameson Taillon, Matt Moore and Shelby Miller. (John Perrotto) |
| 2011-02-28 13:00:00 | You, Law, and BA all have Shelby Miller in the top 15 or so of your lists, however, you're the only one to exclude Zack Cox. To be clear, I'm not accusing you of hating the Cardinals, but I was wondering what you think accounts for the difference in opinion (besides talking to different scouts). What do you see that they don't? (Cardinals645 from Santa Barbara, Ca) | I don't hate the Cardinals, but yes, I am definitely NOT a Cox fan. Bad-bodied player with a line drive swing. Just don't like that combination. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-02-22 13:00:00 | In brief: How will Shelby Miller and Carlos Matias break my heart? (Andy from Chicago) | Miller probably won't break your heart unless he gets hurt; he's really good. Carlos Martinez (Matias) could break your heart by changing his name every six weeks during the season. His arm is special, but a lot could go wrong as he attempts to harness it. (Jason Parks) |
| 2011-02-14 13:00:00 | Given Shelby Miller's numbers on the PECOTA cards Vs Teheran's in K/BB department 2.08 to 1.68 wouldn't he be the better of the two? (Jquinton82 from NY) | PECOTA appears to think so, but you have to think about relative competence of scouts versus projection systems for players so young. PECOTA has something to add, and Shelby Miller is undoubtedly a promising pitcher, but Teheran has done nothing but wow scouts for the last 18 months or so. (Tommy Bennett) |
| 2010-11-09 14:00:00 | Shelby Miller ceiling is ___________? In terms of pitching prospects, I would rather have __________ over him? (Ben254 from St. Louis) | No. 2 starter, kind of a Matt Cain type?; very few. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-08-20 15:30:00 | Do you see Shelby Miller as a one-level a year guy? (iorg34 from Mudville) | Yes. Outstanding young arm and stuff, but still quite raw. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-08-17 14:45:00 | How good will Shelby Miller be? How good CAN he be? (Cards Fanatic from Quad Cities) | He has the chance to be the best baseball player named Shelby of all time. (Eric Seidman) |
| 2010-08-17 14:45:00 | Cards Fanatic (Quad Cities): How good will Shelby Miller be? How good CAN he be?
Eric Seidman: He has the chance to be the best baseball player named Shelby of all time.
==================
John Shelby on line 1 for you, Eric. (dianagramr from NYC) | You're disqualified. Last names don't count. (Eric Seidman) |
| 2010-07-01 14:00:00 | Any consideration for Shelby Miller for number 11? The K's are unreal but he seems like he's still trying to harness his control, what are you hearing? (Shae from Mizzou) | I've seen him, and that's him exactly. The stuff is very, VERY good. (Kevin Goldstein) |
