re: ATL Thread | offseason hot takes + discussion

Something is being leaked to the media, either from the Braves or elsewhere, because it's not a coincidence that we have that thing from Cespedes Family BBQ and now Mark Bowman questioning Grissom as a SS within hours of each other.

When I first saw Grissom during Minor League Spring Training last year, I asked about him and was told he might eventually become a second baseman or third baseman. As the next couple of months unfolded, other scouts expressed doubt about his ability to be an everyday shortstop at the big league level.

So, I have my doubts about Grissom’s ability to replace Dansby Swanson. Let’s not forget this young infielder began last year at High-A and arrived in the Majors by early August. The Braves don’t win the NL East without him producing a .956 OPS through his first 26 games. But he didn’t look comfortable at second base, and he tallied a .460 OPS over the 53 plate appearances that followed.
