It's the trade off with a high % of hitters with power. Way too may rally killing strike outs. The thing that makes it worse is that Grichuk can look so overmatched at times that you wonder if he eve belong in MLB.

The upside is that if he gets hot in a playoff series, he can carry the whole team.

I understand that Grichuk in not a gold glover out there. He's still our best option. Corner OF would be better but he's definitely a better option than Jay in the line up.
