Miller was such a touted prospect, I can't imagine how I would feel if I was in his shoes... knowing that my career might be over due to a finger injury. This has been such a lingering problem that I can't see him avoiding surgery for it.

This is a real shame. He has been considered an excellent prospect. I hope to see him recover completely and reach his potential.

Adam Miller (finger) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session Friday.
It will be Miller's final chance to prove that he can pitch effectively. If things don't go well, he'll undergo season-ending surgery. According to MLB.com, he's been telling people that he "feels pretty good."

Hope things go well but I believe they are just delaying the inevitable.

Same here. This is too great of a nagging injury for him to all of a sudden get over it and stay healthy.

He will undergo the procedure Tuesday, according to an MLB.com story:

This is a potential career-ending injury. He will not be allowed to pick up a baseball for about 6 months and rehab should take from 1-3 months after that. Maybe he'll be back next season if all things go well.
