Yeah, Teoscar and Grichuk are virtually identical in terms of profile. Hard contact free swingers with good defense. Grichuk needs a few days off... he's not as bad a hitter as he's shown but I figure you can reassure him he's not out of a job, give him a few days off so he can watch some video, and hopefully get in a relaxed headspace (slump has got to be weighing on him by now).
This let's Pearce get some reps at DH instead of in the OF where he's... less then optimal.
