Hopefully everyone had a nice holiday. I’ll probably touch on this in a year end piece later this week, but with Christmas coming and going, it’s now time to get back to it and it’s going to be a busy next couple of weeks with work on both the Hardball Times Season Preview and Tigers Corner 2008 winding down, it means I have to get a few things done to meet some deadlines.
In the meantime, here’s an interesting Q&A with Tigers relief pitcher Jason Grilli. A lot of people forget that Grilli was the fourth overall pick way back in the 1997 draft before he had arm problems. And while this isn’t Tigers related, I had the chance to sit down with Lansing Lugnuts general manager Pat Day over the summer and the chat transcript is up at the Hardball Times today.
