Thursday afternoon, I was in my car with my Sirius XM radio tuned into MLB Radio and it’s afternoon show, Inside Pitch. Hosts Jim Duquette and Eduardo Perez were talking about the one-year $2.6 million dollar contract the St. Louis Cardinals had just agreed to with Randal Grichuk to avoid arbitration.
I was particularly interested in that subject since the day before Redbird Rants had put up my piece promoting Randal Grichuk for the fourth outfield spot in the St. Louis Cardinals lineup. My colleague, Larry Levine had put up a counter piece promoting Harrison Bader as the fourth outfielder.
