TDGX Player Notes: Shelby Miller, Ryan Howard, & Andre Ethier

Shuffling the Deck: Post-Prospects in the NL Central
While Ben wrapped up the AL side on Tuesday, I’m lagging behind thanks to a scheduling quirk. Here’s the NL Central: Chicago Cubs: Junior Lake, OF I’ve written about Lake before over at Baseball Prospectus, but he’s the guy for this post. He’s going to get a ton of at-bats in
