Shelby Miller Ready To Impress In Spring Training

St. Louis Cardinals top prospect Shelby Miller talked to MLB Network Radio about spring training with the Big League team:

“Hopefully I go in there and dominate and hopefully they’re like ‘What are we gonna do with him?’  Hopefully I go in there and have a great spring and hopefully I make it a tough decision for them."

“If they want me to start there [in St. Louis] or if it’s in Memphis or whatever it must be [I'll do it].  But I’m gonna go in there and perform my best and hopefully win a spot; and if I do, great, and if I don’t, I’ma keep my head on my shoulders and try and get there as fast as I can this year anyways.”

During his time in the minor leagues in 2011, Miller posted a 11-6 record with a 2.77 ERA and struck out 170 helpless minor league hitters in 139.2 innings.
