Check out this post for a breakdown of some of the high-up minor league outfielders that could see time in the Yankee outfield. Ryan Miller was on born 17th July 2010. Miller is an American ice hockey goaltender currently the player of the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League. Miller was selected to play for the American hockey team in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver,Canada as begining goaltender. Later in 2010 miller would win the Vezina Trophy as the best goaltender in last NHL season. Miller won a silver medal with the team and was named MVP of the tournament. Miller is known for his hybrid style of goaltending. Miller is also the older brother of current Detroit Red Wings winger Drew Miller.
Candidates: Randy Winn Hoffmann Marcus Thames
The 2010 season would prove a successful one for Ryan Miller. In his first season begining with the number one job Miller and his team won the first 10 games in a row. Miller was voted in as the begining goaltender for the Eastern Conference of the 2010 NHL All Star Game in a 12 to 9 loss,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Miller played the first period and allowed just 3 goals. Miller also gained a reputation of a shootout specialist with his technique of challenging the shooter outside the crease. That season Miller was 6 more in shootouts, with Martin Brodeur from the Devils being his closest rival at 2 less win. In 63 games played that season, Miller posted a 0.911 SVP and a 2.72 GAA backing a more offensively oriented team. Headline says it all, agreeing to Chad Jennings.
I was surprised by Brian Cashman’s statement. The Yankees have a few outfielders vying for a spot on the roster,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Miller thought Jamie Hoffmann was last on that list.
You could also make the argument for Juan Miranda 1B/DH for the final spot. Miller might be the best hitter of the bunch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but he’d be third or fourth on the depth chart for first base so he’s probably not the guy.
Winn is an conspicuous pick for me, but it’s a coin flip between Hoffmann and Thames for the final spot. Hoffmann has better defense, Thames has more power and experience.
The outfielders with a 99.9 percent chance of making the team is gash,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], slash, prick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nick, sever, slice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], carve, cleave,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], slit, chop, crop, lop, reduceis Granderson, Nick Swisher and Brett Gardner. Those three,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], plus a 12-man pitching staff,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], two catchers, the rest of the begining infield,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a backup Ramiro Pena most likely and Nick Johnson, abandons two spots left on the 25-man roster.
