Phew.
It is a weight off of the world's shoulders to see that the end of Miller's playing days did not mean the end of his mustache. We can all sleep easy knowing that Miller's 'stache is around as an illustrious example for a whole new generation of ballplayers.
For the time being at least, we will not be returning to the mustacheless days of 2010. Look, he's a good-looking guy either way, but given the choice between 'stache or no 'stache, we're going to take 'stache every time.
According to the Dragons, Miller will be working with the team's -- and other Reds affiliates' -- catchers this season, holding the same responsibilities as 2015. But the Dragons should know Miller would also make a capable pitching coach -- he is a knuckeball specialist, after all.
