Interesting move. I don't mind what Grichuk brings at all to be honest. He strikes out a bit but he has consistent 20 HR ability and brings good defence whether in RF or CF. 12 million a year for that is good value IMO. |
I'd call it a puzzling move. While I don't have the eye of a baseball exec, I'd sum up my opinion that his upside is of an average MLB player overall. By locking him up, they likely have confidence he'll develop into something much better. The head scratcher is, why now? Why not wait until year end when it's a little more clear what direction he goes?
