ROBBIE GROSSMAN RUMORS

First Pitch: The Ideal Player, Robbie Grossman, Free Matt Hague

Today I put up a feature on the site talking about Robbie Grossman versus the ideal corner outfielder. The big knock on Grossman is that he doesn’t have the speed to play center field, and doesn’t have the power to play a corner outfield spot. People who are in favor of Grossman like the overall package, even though he doesn’t profile as the ideal player. Pirates...

News and notes: Santiago, Grossman, 2012 Promotions

Bad news out of the Arizona Fall League this week.  Kristy Robinson reports that Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Robbie Grossman has fractured his hamate bone, and will have surgery to repair the injury later this week.  The injury will end Grossman’s AFL season, although he shouldn’t miss any time during the 2012 season.
