    I think Grandersons an overrated CF. He has a great build, good speed, a flair for the dramatic, but also the reputation of a hard worker. I just don't see all that currently translating into great defensive CF. Bad reads.

    Yeah, i did see that one. That would make sense that he was struggling, going pretty much exclusively with fastballs. Yet another reason why ST performance isn't necessarily a good indicator of how a guy will do in the season.

    I remember he was sorta just a guy when he played for the Tigers.

    Great slider. I liked what somebody on here said earlier in ST. It seems like Chen is what Matusz is supposed to be.

    Wow, another great inning for Chen. The more this game goes, the more i think OFFNY's prediction is going to be correct (7 IP, 1 ER).
