WADE MILEY RUMORS & GOSSIP
Trademark command still evading D-backs' Miley
PHOENIX -- In a stellar 2012 season that saw him win 16 games and finish second in NL Rookie of the Year voting, Diamondbacks pitcher Wade Miley made command his calling card. He gave up 1.7 walks per nine innings, or roughly one every five innings pitched.
But so far this year, Miley's command has betrayed him, as the lefty is giving up more than twice as many walks and has...

D-backs done in by Padres' Petco change
SAN DIEGO -- Eleven feet. It might as well have been a mile.
Yonder Alonsos fly ball to deep right-center field Friday would have struck the auxiliary scoreboard and bounded back into play in every game at Petco Park in every year from 2004-12.
After renovations, the ball easily cleared the new fence in front of the Jack Daniels party patio for a two-run home run, a blow that seemed...

Miley, D-backs back at it against Rockies
Troy Tulowitzki tends to thrive against the Diamondbacks, and he hopes facing left-handers for the rest of this series will keep it that way. The shortstop looks to continue his hot hitting as the Rockies go for their seventh win in the last 10 games against the D-backs on Saturday night.

Rapid React (4/23): Miley’s All Smiley
Wade Miley is off to a hot start.

Q&A: Wade Miley, Deceptively Dominant D-Back
Wade Miley is one of those pitchers who just gets outs. The Arizona Diamondbacks lefthander doesn’t wow or dazzle, but that isn’t what matters. What does is results, and he got plenty of those last year in his rookie season. The 26-year-old left-hander won 16 games with a 3.33 ERA and 3.15 FIP.
How did he do it? Not with overpowering stuff. His primary pitch — which he threw...
Wade Miley - Everyone's favorite regression candidate
Wade Miley was such a surprise last year for the Arizona Diamondbacks that the surprise factor might have cost him the Rookie of the Year Award nod in a very close race with Harper. Nobody expected that Wade Miley would be the tenth most valuable pitcher in baseball in 2012. And his 1.79 walks per nine innings and 3.13 FIP were so fabulous that it had everyone scratching their...
Diamondbacks Wade Miley leaves earlier than expected, giving some a scare
He wasn't actually injured. That's the good news for Arizona Diamondbacks fans. However, there was a brief period of fear and confusion as Wade Miley exited his spring game yesterday a full inning earlier than he was scheduled to.

Expected #Dbacks LHP Wade Miley to go three innings but he's out...
Miley putting breakout rookie year behind him
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- After a rookie season that saw Diamondbacks starting pitcher Wade Miley win 16 games, make the All-Star team and finish second in National League Rookie of the Year voting, it might seem natural he'd come to spring training this year with a little swagger.
Save a little seniority in the clubhouse, that has not been the case. Instead, Miley showed up for...

Why Wade Miley should be Rookie of the Year
Picking a favorite for the Rookie of the Year Award is always complicated when the two best candidates are a pitcher and a position player. The two candidates that rise above all other National League rookies are Wade Miley of the Diamondbacks and that Harper kid from the Nationals that you may have heard about. Harper, of course, has gotten all the attention and his every move...
