MLB Trade Rumors:
Per Jason Grilli's Twitter page, the Texas Rangers have removed the 32-year-old pitcher from their roster.Grilli wrote, "My day just got more interesting-as said earlier
tweet-A leader can't lead until he knows where he is going-Texas took me off the
roster".Grilli is an interesting buy-low candidate for a number of teams. While his ERA jumped from 3.00 in 2008 to 5.32 in 2009, that is highly deceiving. He posted a Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) ERA of just 3.93 in 2009, and has been under 4 each of the past three seasons.Grilli has also been roughly as effective against lefties and righties throughout his career, allowing a .271 batting average to righties, .265 to lefties.If Grilli is to be believed, he'll be in terrific shape for someone in 2010. He wrote on a follow-up tweet, "Gonna be some Rocky Balboa training commence".
