Makes me wonder if he's considered part of the rotation mix next season or just another bullpen arm, as you suspect.<br /><br />I've read the Cubs are talking to Grabow. If they tender him, right now he's an "A" free agent, meaning a first or second round draft pick has to go to the Cubs if someone else signs him, quite the detriment, no?<br /><br />Now Gonzo, there's an interesting name. The Braves got LaRoche back, and it's sure be ironic if Pittsburgh got Gonzalez back.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-17810349468499271692009-10-01T09:22:00.432-04:002009-10-01T09:22:00.432-04:00Yeah, I could see Moskos in Pittsburgh sometime in...Yeah, I could see Moskos in Pittsburgh sometime in 2010, and unlike many Pirate "fans", I don't have an irrational animus against him simply because he was an obvious draft reach by the previous administration. That said, I think he is John Grabow V 2.0 at best, and while that's not a bad thing, I'd much rather see us bring back Mike Gonzalez (assuming he'd come back) or another harder-throwing leftie, and add him to Veal and Moskos and, if healthy, Dumatrait. NOW we're talkin'! <br /><br /><br />That said, I suspect Grabow won't be long for the Cubs, who have gone straight into the tank in a year in which they were supposed to be contenders. I haven't heard that he hates it there, but he was the kind of supposed-to-put-you-over-the-top acquisition that often doesn't stick around if things don't work out as planned.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.com
