Detroit was #28 in OBP last season. (The Pirates were #30.) The one thing Grossman does well is draw walks. Doesn't hit for average or power. But he consistently has a good OBP.
I'd sure rather see Grossman in RF instead of Polanco, regardless of his lack of power and average. He'd also be a defensive upgrade, but who wouldn't be? Sadly, we all know what a surprise it would be for Nutting to pay anyone $10 million, especially now.

It wouldn't take much to improve on Polanco. A less bad player would be an upgrade even if the improvement to the team was negligible. But I don't see Grossman being worth $10 million over 2 years to any team. That's a lot of money for walks. He better remember to keep the bat on his shoulder if he wants to earn his pay.

I don't think Grossman is worth that much, either. Fortunately for him, the people in Detroit making the decisions think he is.
I know walks are important but, as a fan, I find them so boring.

Pirates going to watch Corey Kluber work out. If he looks good, Pirates won't sign him.
