The Tigers have made Andrew Miller the first member of the 2006 draft class to reach the majors. They're promoting him very aggressively, but he mowed down the Class A+ Florida State League in the five innings he pitched there. Meanwhile, Brad Lincoln struggled at a lower level, then got injured. It's certainly way too early to call the Pirates out for not taking Miller - who was widely regarded as the top talent in the draft - but the contrast between the two picks is striking.
