JASON GRILLI RUMORS & GOSSIP
Reliever Grilli enjoying breakout season at 35
Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Jason Grilli insists he's not throwing any differently than he has at any point in his nomadic career.
Maybe, but the results are certainly different.

Grilli Ready to Compete in the ‘Pen
BRADENTON — Whenever Pirates reliever Jason Grilli was given the ball last season with Pittsburgh, he thrived. Grilli pitched from the 5th inning on during the 2011 season, but it was in the back end of the ‘pen that Grilli enjoyed the most.

Wait...the "Other" Jason Grilli?
A few months ago, one of my favorite guys on the interwebs, Paul "Sully" Sullivan posted his "All Nope... Not THAT One Team".

Jason Grilli agrees to $1.1M contract
tweeted:
That means Grilli is back for 2012, avoiding arbitration at a pretty fair price for both sides. Grilli quickly became a fan favorite and pitched well with the Bucs, so it’s good to see him back.
We’re still waiting on updates for the other arbitration eligible players.
