He has ZERO understanding of the strike zone. Grichuk thinks plate discipline is a way not to get fat.

He absolutely kills cripple pitches. As DJ said many times, he is a perfect No. 7 hitter in the NL (so a 7 or 8 in the AL). He will murder bad middle relievers who miss over the plate. When he does go through short stretches of not swinging at slop, his numbers become ungodly. Unfortunately, he did that for a total of like 2 weeks during his entire career with the Cards.

His plate discipline and plate coverage is excellent. One year wonders are usually because they have holes that can be exploited. His hole will be his sight. If he can see fine, I doubt we see a significant dip in production. The huge plus is he costs us peanuts. |

This is the player I am more curious about whether he is for real.

Second one was ironically in Philly in 2006, Rolen is booed vociferously, then proceeds to hit 2 homers and send them home losers. I enjoyed their foiled rath as much as just about any regular season victory in memory. St. Louis puts on a great show, have a blast, hopefully I’ll be able to get back there for another one some day. |
