I have seen some weird stuff from the Cards' GM regarding Miller. Basically calling him out in the media and saying he isn't listening to them/has falled in their minds as a prospect far behind Taveras, Martinez and Wong.
Simiar to the way he and La Russa ran down Rasmus in the media before trading him. Do they just not care about deflating players' value before they trade them or what?

From what I've read and watched, Miller doesn't have that true ace potential you speak of anymore. He's lost 4 or 5 mph velocity this season, which as you know is a huge deal.
He hasn't developed any secondary pitches to a level they need to be at this point either.
