Arizona Diamondbacks: Minor league time could delay Shelby Miller’s free agency - Shelby Miller‘s rocky first season with the Arizona Diamondbacks has been well-documented. Acquired from the Atlanta Braves in the offseason to form a new-look D-Backs rotation with free agent signee Zack Greinke, the 25-year-old right-hander has been a major disappointment in the desert. In 14 starts for Arizona this season, Miller has posted an ugly 7.14 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 1.47 K/BB ratio over 69.1 innings.

In those 19 seasons, they’ve made the playoffs five times and won one World Series. In spite of that, there has been a remarkable amount of upheaval and philosophical changes as to how the club is built.
