2) The Cubs signed free agent OF Marquis Grissom to a minor league contract. I think this is solid news! 2002, age 35, .277/.321/.510, 17 HR, 60 RBI (343 ABs) ...
Good solid bench player, if he makes the team. This a good gamble. If he fails, he doesn't make the team. If he has anything left, maybe he platoons in right...
