Inbox: Will Shelby bounce back in 2017?

With Opening Day approaching fast, now is the perfect time to answer some fan questions in another edition of the D-backs Inbox.

Is it realistic to expect Shelby [Miller] to improve over last season enough to make a difference in the rotation? Why does everyone think this year will be better for him, just because of Spring Training?
-- Carl, Phoenix

First, no matter what happened this spring, I think there would be a general expectation that Miller will be better this year simply because he struggled so badly last year and has tremendous talent.
