Jeff Locke, Jason Grilli Shut Down Astros for 1-0 Victory
The Pittsburgh Pirates have two unlikely arms leading their pitching arsenal this season. Third-year newcomer Jeff Locke, in his first full time season as a starter, and veteran journeyman Jason Grilli, who has become the Pirates closer and one of the best relievers in the game.
In a 1-0 victory over the Houston Astros on Sunday, Locke would work seven scoreless innings, surrendering...
A Stroke of Genius with the Grill Man
In the offseason I added Jason Grilli on virtually every fantasy team because I knew of the stuff he had. I knew he would be dominant. I knew he would be the best closer in baseball. If nothing else, this post is just confirmation that yes; at one moment in time my stroke of genius was at least correct.
A post over at FanGraphs today documents how dominant Jason Grilli has been....
Climbing, With Jason Grilli
There are a few different ways I could begin this post, and I can’t settle upon a best one, so you’re going to get them all. Prepare for a blitz of introductions. Jason Grilli was the fourth overall pick in the 1997 draft, and he was sent from the Giants to the Marlins in a trade for Livan Hernandez. He made his big-league debut for Florida in 2000, when he was 23 years old,...

Behold! Jason Grilli's Entrance Video
It should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me...I dig entrance music and walk up songs. I've gotta think it comes from my love of wrestling and the pagaentry that surrounds it.
Well, you can have your "Enter Sandman" or "Hell's Bells"...I'm going with Jason Grilli's entrance music/video.
The erstwhile journeyman-turned-current...

Jason Grilli, Having Just Re-Signed With Pirates, Admits He Doesn’t Expect to Win in Pittsburgh
It’s safe to say that Jason Grilli can be called a journeyman. Over the course of 10 big-league seasons, the 36-year-old has played for six major league teams and countless minor league stops, finding intermittent success along the way.
However, in 2012 Grilli probably had the best season of his career, his second with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Over the course of 58 2/3 innings,...
Source: Pirates, Grilli agree to deal
The Pittsburgh Pirates moved to bolster their bullpen Monday, agreeing to re-sign right-hander Jason Grilli to a two-year deal, according to a major league source.
The deal, which is pending a physical, could give the Pirates the flexibility to trade closer Joel Hanrahan and use Grilli in a ninth-inning role.
Grilli, 36, emerged as one of the most reliable setup men in the National...

Jason Grilli Could Sign With Someone Today
You could either file that headline under “Pointing Out the Obvious Possibilities” or “Most Vague News Ever”. In this case it’s more of the latter. Jason Grilli tweeted the following early this morning.

Report: Red Sox Among Eight Teams Showing Interest in Reliever Jason Grilli
Middle relievers are never the sexiest names available during the offseason, but it’s hard to dispute just how important a solid bullpen is to a team’s success. For that reason, it’s shouldn’t be too surprising that Jason Grilli is reportedly drawing interest from nearly a third of the league.
Grilli, who just turned 36, has transformed into a solid reliever the past two...
