Miller's velocity fell to a career-worst 90 mph in 2020, yet he maintained a 29% strikeout rate and posted a 2.77 ERA across 13 innings. At least some of that success was due to the small sample that didn't have time to regress. For example, his walk rate fell below 4.0 BB/9 for the first time since 2017, yet Miller had only a 52.7% first-strike rate -- his worst mark since 2010. Miller will be heading into his age-35 season in 2021, and it's hard to find reasons for optimism. He isn't likely to earn save opportunities as Jordan Hicks should be ready to return and Giovanny Gallegos has proven to be more effective than Miller of late. No longer capable of racking up strikeouts for standalone value, Miller's control problems could return. He is also due home-run regression -- he didn't allow a single homer in 2020 -- which is likely to expose his otherwise deteriorating skillset.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Optio. vests for 2021
Miller made his 14th appearance of the season Sunday against the Pirates, triggering his $12 million vesting option for 2021, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran left-hander originally needed 110 appearances between the 2019 and 2020 seasons for the option to vest, and he needed only 37 outings in 2020 after appearing in 73 games last season. However, given the shortened season, he only needed to appear in a pro-rated total of 14 games this season, which he fulfilled Sunday. Miller struggled in 2019 with a 5.19 ERA over 54.2 innings, but he's looked better this season with four runs allowed on nine hits and a 14:3 K:BB over 12.1 innings. Assuming he can maintain that form into the 2021 campaign, he should remain a vital member of the Cardinals' bullpen.
