My guys inside the team HATE Grifol. He’s a blame-placer and a back-stabber.
Ibanez, on the other, is a future star IMO. He’s smart, he’s a motivator, he can reach both stars and scrubs due to his history as a player (good enough that anyone should listen, enough troubles getting to MLB to relate to bench guys).

I'm all about Ibanez. Hope they go that route. Do we know if Ned's coming back?
