Gordo: Rush to trade Grichuk seems a little puzzling

Perhaps some day Randal Grichuk will realize his full potential and become a high-caliber big league outfielder.

Perhaps some day balls will explode off his bat with more regularity, allowing him to become the complete hitting and fielding package the Los Angeles Angels envisioned when drafting him 24th overall in 2009.
