ITA, it is a shame that he signed with a
"less-than-playoff-contention" team, BUT I just read (Rotoworld.com)
that "Grudzy should have considerable value at the trade deadline". I
guess they're implying that he could be traded to a team that's in a
playoff race. Maybe he'll end up in the post season after all????

I am also a Cardinals fan (from STL), but now live in Omaha. KC is
closer to me than STL...and the Royals minor league team (Omaha
Royals) is based here. I'm also hoping to get to a few games at
Kauffman next season to see Mark play :)
