Miller spent 27 games at 1B between Lexington/Greeneville, 10 at 3B, and 25 at DH. He made 3 errors in 223 chances at 1B for a .987 Fld%, and 4 errors in 24 chances at 3B for an .833 Fld%.
All of Miller's extra-base hits were doubles, but as you can see, he strikes out quite a bit. He had a pretty rough first month in Greeneville after getting sent down from Lexington on July 6. Miller ended the season on a tear, though, hitting .394/.429/.576 in his last ten games, striking out six times in 33 ABs (down from his season average).
2009 was Miller's third season in the Astros' organization, hitting .234/.291/.376 in Greeneville in 2007, and .247/.301/.426 between Greeneville and Lexington in 2007. Interestingly enough, Miller posted the same 69:14 K:BB rate in 2008 as he did in 2009.
