Brad Miller (1B/2B/SS, MIL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 4% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Milwaukee Brewers infielder Brad Miller was acquired from the Rays roughly a month ago, but he immediately spent two weeks in the minors before being recalled to resolve a troubling infield position for the Brewers. In the last two weeks, Miller has two homers, three doubles, and a .316 AVG. Even better, over the last week, Miller is hitting .333 with a home run, three runs scored, and three RBI.

Miller has joined the fly ball revolution (43.5%) during that time and combined this new approach with a 65.2% hard-hit rate. Unfortunately, he is striking out way too much (35.7%), but his walks (9.5%) help overcome that a little bit. His swinging strikes (15.1%) and contact rate (69.2%) are well below average and generally would not warrant a recommendation to add a player from the waiver wire.

However, he is on a new team and potentially is working hard to impress. So now might be the best time to play him while he is in the groove. The Brewers have a full schedule of games on the road against the Marlins and Pirates.
