They're super high on Grichuk. Dude's got power, but I tend to see him thru the same glasses you do, but for our sanity's sake, hope we're wrong.

Yeah, looks like both guys are going straight to AA. Good thing; we need some legit hitting prospects in the worst way. Now I wonder which one Moe will trade to the Indians to replace Moss/Adams and the gaping hole he left in the OF?
Oh, and they're flat wrong on Grichuk. A player will not succeed at this level with no understanding of the strike zone and Randal Grichuk very clearly still has no understanding of the strike zone.t
He may hit 30 largely meaningless homeruns, but he'll be a liability at the plate in every key spot his entire career. If he's the 6th best hitter in your lineup, you're probably okay carrying him despite his flaws. As the 3rd best? Yeah, you're probably ****ed. He's a guy you need to hide in the 6 hole; let him just swing for the downs to re-set the lineup ahead of the dregs (i.e. Molina and Wong....and Adams/Moss....and the pitcher....**** this lineup is awful)
