This story isn’t about Jason Grilli, it’s about Padres reliever Scott Linebrink. A lot of people forget that Jason Grilli was once a top prospect and he was taken fourth overall in 1997 draft by the Giants. The Giants second round pick that year was Linebrink and you get some mentions of Grilli in the column. I found the excerpt about how Grilli has narrowly missed out on three World Series rings the last three years particularly interesting.
