Ever wanted to be a bullpen catcher? Well get your applications ready because the Cubs might be looking for a new bullpen catcher.  According to Roman Modrowski of ESPNChicago.com, Cubs current bullpen catcher Corey Miller was pulled over speeding in Lincoln, Nebraska.  He was clocked at 71mph in a 65mph zone.

Also in the car was Maria Myaskovsky, 26, of Madera, California and a small infant.  During the traffic stop the Nebraska State Trooper was given permission by Miller to search the vehicle.  The trooper proceeded to find a plastic baby formula bag that contained a small bag of marijuana and a pipe. White then found 8.4 pounds of pot in plastic bags wrapped in dryer sheets inside of a suitcase containing men’s clothing.  The amount of marijuana could be worth anywhere between $2,520-$3,000 (depending on area of country) on the streets.

Investigators determined after interviews that Myaskovsky was the one who packed the suitcase and was allegedly responsible for the pounds of mary-j.  Miller received a citation for possession of marijuana but the case will be reviewed by the Lancaster County Attorney’s office to see if more charges for Miller maybe warranted.

I decided to look into a bullpen catchers salary and was surprised to find out that according to the StarTribune.com, in 2009 the average salary was anywhere from$20,000-$35,000 a year.

Cubs director of media relations Peter Chase said Miller is a contract employee whose 2010 contract ends on Nov. 1, and the team currently is in a “fact-finding stage.”  Call me crazy but I am guessing that Miller won’t be back in the bullpen next year.
