Mariners promote top prospect Bryce Miller for MLB debut.

The Seattle Mariners are set to debut top pitching prospect Bryce Miller in their starting rotation this week against the Oakland A's. Miller, the Mariners' top-ranked pitcher, has impressed with his plus-plus fastball and slider, and the team is more interested in his "shove reports" and ability to execute in critical counts than his minor league stats. Miller's debut allows the Mariners to move All-Star Luis Castillo to a later start, and marks the third straight year the team has debuted a top pitching prospect in early May.
