Journeyman catcher Corky Miller signed a minor league deal with the White Sox following the 2008 season, with an invite to spring training. \u00a0Miller impressed during the spring and earned a job with the big league club as backup to starter A.J. Pierzynski.<\/p>\n

Miller went 2-4 with 2 RBI in his first game of the season, but struggled offensively after that. \u00a0In 14 games, he hit just .205 with 5 RBI and had thrown out just 1 of the 9 runners attempting to steal against him.<\/p>\n

On May 31, Miller was designated for assignment after the White Sox acquired catcher Ramon Castro in a trade with the Mets. \u00a0“Corky Miller was outstanding from the first day of Spring Training to today,” manager Ozzie Guillen said at the time. \u00a0“Corky did a tremendous job for us and I was very happy with him, but we made a decision that we had to get better there.” \u00a0Miller was assigned to Triple A, where he appeared in 4 games before the June 26 trade that sent him back to the Reds in exchange for Norris Hopper.<\/p>\n
