Red Sox and LHP Andrew Miller avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.475 million contract. The former #6 overall pick was eligible for arbitration for the second time and will earn a raise over the $1.04 million he earned a season ago. He found a home as a left-handed specialist in the Red Sox bullpen in 2012, posting a 3.35 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 51/20 K/BB ratio in 40 1/3 innings of work.
