Happy Birthday Justin Miller

Justin Miller turns 31 today. He was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 5th round of the 1997 draft. In the off season after the 1999 he was traded to the A's. Then in 2001 he was traded to the Jays with Eric Hinske for Billy Koch. I guess we won that trade.

After 2005 he signed with the Rays then went to the Phillies but didn't make it back to the majors till last season with the Marlins where he is pitching from the bullpen.

He is likely best known for his tattoos and caused MLB to invent the 'Justin Miller rule', he is to wear long sleeves under his jersey so that his tattoos don't distract batters.
