UPDATE: The deal is a 1-year pact, and was finalized.The St. Louis Cardinals, noting the fact that left-handed relievers are flying off the market, are close to a 2-year agreement with lefty Trever Miller. The 35-year old Miller posted a 4.15 ERA with the American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays, holding left-handers to a .209/.302/.308 line. He'll be brought in to get key left-handers out, and that's about all he's good at.
Not a big fan of Miller, but if he's signed for less than $2M i'd consider it a nice signing by the Cardinals. The Rays chose his $400K buyout instead of a $2M option for '09, so if St. Louis paid more than that I do not think it is worth it.
