For journeyman left-hander Wade Miley, who has been traded three times during the past 19 months, the fourth team may be the charm.
Miley, 29, was the Orioles' key pitching acquisition at the Aug. 1 trade deadline, joining the Birds in a deal with the Seattle Mariners. For O's fans clamoring for an ace, well, Miley isn't that guy. He posted a 7-8 record and a 4.98 ERA for the Mariners before the trade, and he's been no better than a league-average pitcher for the past three seasons.
League-average, however, could be exactly what the Orioles need.
