Why It Sucks to be Jon Miller

David Wells spoke to the media today about baseball-related matters for the first time all spring. He told reporters about the bullpen session he tossed today (his first this spring) and about how his right-knee (which was operated on back in October) was responding to his workout regimen. Then Jon Miller from WBZ dropped the bomb everyone there had their mitts on and asked Wells if he was still seeking a trade away from Boston. At that Wells immediately ended the media session, saying that that was the wrong question to ask. He also said that it wasn't Miller's fault, that he didn't know not to ask such a question, but I guarantee you that that was of no comfort to the other reporters that were present at the media session. Aside from his own embarassment, what tortures were beset upon Miller by his colleagues? I wonder if he was tarred and feathered and then left to bake in the Florida sun. Probably not. But I sure never want to be in his position.
