Josh Vitters Has Gone Right Outside His Mind
Tired of thinking about the seven-straight-loss Cubs? Prefer to think about the mythical “future” that will some day be? Me, too. Enter top Chicago Cubs prospect, Josh Vitters.

Harden felt a twinge in his last outing last Sunday, and in a subsequent side session [...]
