After my previous post I checked the SABR profile of Dots Miller. He was brought up when Honus Wagner was late to report to the 1909 spring training, and impressed his manager and teammates enough with his fielding that his teammates began referring to him as "Hans" and "Hans No. 2". When Wagner eventually reported to spring training, a reporter asked Honus "Whose the kid?" Honus responded "That's Miller", which the reporter interpreted as 'Dots' Miller. And so a nickname was born.
With this little biographical insight, in my mind I can see how he quickly became an important part of the team, moving over to 2nd base and playing well and in most of the Pirates games, and thus an inclusion to the E102 set at the end of the 1909 baseball season becomes a very reasonable possibility.
