Mariners rookie shortstop Brad Miller has committed six errors and owns a .957 fielding percentage in his first 34 games since his promotion from the minors. 

"It’s still early," Mariners acting manager Robby Thompson said, per The Seattle Times. "Yeah, there’s been some balls and plays he feels he should have made. I’m not going to sit here and say the game is speeding up on him. He moved through the system rather quickly and he’s up here. It’s kind of youth now that’s showing a little bit. All this experience he and (Nick) Franklin are getting, offensively and defensively, they’re only going to get better from it."
