MESA, Ariz. – Late last week, Cubs top prospect Matt Shaw called over veteran corner infielder Justin Turner to check out his locker.
The 23-year-old third baseman used four pieces of athletic tape to secure a sheet of printer paper to one side. At the top was Turner’s full name and date of birth, written in pen. And under it, Shaw had outlined Turner’s whole career, from 2006, when he was drafted by the Reds, to present.
