Prospect Potent Potables - Miller, Nova, Dodgers, Sale

• St. Louis Cardinals top prospect Shelby Miller says he wants to start the 2011 season in Double-A, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.  Miller spent the entire 2010 season, his first full season as a professional, in the Low-A Midwest League, so a jump to Double-A would skip the Florida State League altogether.
• Ivan Nova has been on the minds of Yankee fans all winter, and Steve of TYU is no exception, as he takes another look at the Bombers RHP prospect and makes a comp as to what type of pitcher Nova could become.
• A couple of Dodgers prospects, Chris Withrow and Javy Guerra, are using the team's mini-camp as a rehab stint after recent injuries, reports Ken Gurnick of MLB.com.
• Regardless of what role Chris Sale plays on the White Sox pitching staff, Sox pitching coach Don Cooper would like to see the 22-year-old lefty be put in a rold and stay there rather than be shifted back and forth all season, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com.
