Grissom's upside is currently limited to "get up off the pine and actually play" . Yeah, it's a long season, but he has already cut it short by a month or so. Not a choice now, but I might have considered keeping Sale over a 2Bman who can't perform. And I do know the Sox had no future with Sale , beyond the July deadline, and they do have years of control on Grissom. Jusst frustrated ove th number of recent year pickups who cannot take the field.
