Jim Miller, who put some fancy save numbers on the books last season, is back in the groove after sitting out the first half of this season with an injury. Miller collected 34 saves, 25 with Single-A Modesto, but developed arm problems in his first major-league camp this spring. His performance in 2005 included 25 walks and 87 strikeouts.
Miller, an eighth-round draft pick in 2004, is pitching again in Tulsa and has 10 saves in 41 appearances. He's also a possibility for the Arizona league.

Miller's opening the season in injury rehab has put a drag on his rising star, particularly with the emergence of Manuel Corpas. Still, Miller's slider ranks as the top in the system, and with a quality fastball and change, he's got the goods to be a highly effective late inning reliever. Tightening the control is always an issue, but for the most part, Miller's pitches are close to major league ready, so he could be in Coors Field fairly quickly should a need arise later in the year.

"I've come into camp and my shoulder feels strong. I feel like I have good life on the ball when I don't try to do too much."

Jim Miller, a right-hander who had strong performances at Class A Modesto and Double-A Tulsa, was chosen the organization's Pitcher of the Year and recipient of the Doug Million Award as the most outstanding performer in the system

The Rockies, believing the 23-year-old needed to improve his changeup and breaking ball, sent him to the Arizona Fall League, where he went 3-1 with two saves, a 4.91 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 14 2/3 innings. (MLB.com)

Miller's ranges 92-96 mph, a velocity similar to Dohmann's, only with more movement. He began tinkering with an offspeed pitch, a split-finger, at the Rockies' urging while at Modesto. When the Rockies promoted him to Tulsa in early August, he was not comfortable mixing pitches against the higher level of competition, not that it hurt him (1-1, 0.60 ERA, 19 strikeouts against eight walks and six hits).
"I like his aggressiveness, his competitiveness in late innings," Colorado player development director Mac Gustafson said. "He has been racking up the saves since he's been in the organization. If he finishes up the Fall League with positive results and positive feedback, he could be on our radar screen next year."
