22-year old lefty starting pitcher Aaron Miller was the Dodgers’ #3 rated prospect heading into this season according to Baseball America. Miller has pitched in 16 games (15 starts) in A+AA-ball this season and he is 2-5 with a 2.73 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. He has only given up 61 hits in 85 2/3 innings this season while whiffing 85 batters showing what kind of stuff he has. He has walked 40 batters this season so he is far from perfect on the mound. If he can tighten up his control a bit he could be a top of the rotation starter for the Dodgers soon. Miller has pitched in 26 games (25 starts) in his two years in the minors and he is 5-6 with a 2.74 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP.

26-year old righty swinging shortstop Chin-Lung Hu will miss the next 6-8 weeks due to thumb surgery. Hu has played in 55 games in AAA-ball this year and he is 60 of 200 (.300 avg, .726 OPS) with 34 runs scored, 3 homers, 24 RBIs and 7 stolen bases. Hu has also played in 2 games for the Dodgers earlier this year but he didn’t get to bat. He has played in 84 games in his four years with the Dodgers and he is 30 of 150 (.200 avg, .553 OPS) with 23 runs scored, 2 homers, 16 RBIs and 2 stolen bases.
