Keep Miller as back-up?

Miller said he was upset "a little bit" upon hearing of the Estrada trade.

"I still feel I can play every day and I'd like to play every day but I understand their point of view," Miller said in a telephone interview from his home in La Crosse. "I'm not a spring chicken anymore and I was kind of beat up in the second half."

Miller, 37, was limited to only 36 games after the all-star break by a variety of ailments and batted just .207 with one homer and 10 RBI over that span. He expressed some doubt that the Brewers would keep him as a back-up at his salary but said he wanted to stay, even in that role.

"I'd really like to stay there," Miller said. "It's a perfect situation for me.

Does it make sense for the Brewers to keep him around with Riveria and for that matter Vinny Rottino sitting in AAA?

Right now Miller may have to most value of them becouse he is a experenced Major league Catcher and Riveria and Rottino has so little of it so far.

So I can see he may be the one that they would want to move in trade. But we will see what happens.

The Chicago Tribune mentions Miller's name as a possible back-up catcher the White Sox might go after.
