Crazy that he's a deep cut, when if not for injury he was going to be the starting SS for a team coming off 100 wins.

Brewers released RHP Shelby Miller.

Miller has exercised the opt-out clause in his minor league deal with Milwaukee. The 28-year-old right-hander was sporting a 4.79 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and 20/16 K/BB ratio in 20 2/3 innings (five starts) at Triple-A San Antonio.

It's his burner phone. That closet full of pain killers he accumulated from all those injuries aren't going to sell themselves.

I'm sure he'll get a few more chances, but I was not expecting Shelby Miller to be out of baseball by about 2019.

He's still young enough that a team will give him a shot.

Sandy Alcantara Sinks His Way to Success
by Jake Mailhot
September 13, 2019
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/sandy-alcan ... o-success/
There hasn’t been much to celebrate this year in Miami, but the Marlins starting rotation has been a source of a few positive developments. Caleb Smith and Pablo López started off the season strong but faded in the second half. Zac Gallen and Jordan Yamamoto both made their major league debuts, and while Gallen was shipped out at the trade deadline, Yamamoto has shown some promise as a 23-year-old rookie. But the most exciting progress has come from Sandy Alcantara.

On the surface, Alcantara’s stat line doesn’t look that impressive. His park and league adjusted FIP sits just seven percent above league average but that’s more due to some luck in keeping the ball in the ballpark. His 18% strikeout rate is one of the worst in the majors among qualified starters despite a fastball that sits in the mid-90s. The biggest question mark attached to him as a prospect was his command of his repertoire. In his 42 major league innings prior to this year, he ran a walk rate above 15%. He’s managed to drop that down to 10.7% this year, but that’s still one of the worst walk rates in the majors.
