I had an idea about doing a franchise, sort of in a 'career mode' based on the 'comeback of Ben Grieve'.

Hard to say what exactly happened to Grieve. Not fast enough for OF'er, not powerful enough for a 1B. A 'tweener' that never fit in anywhere, once his bat lost some of its production.

Yeah man. Ben Grieve sort of lost his way. He basically fell off the map. And I do gotta agree. He wasn't a very good OF and wasn't good enough at 1B. He could've been an alright DH, but obviously things like his motivation and such got in the way of him being special.

tough loss man

It was, man. My pitching did its job, but my offense couldn't get it done. That's the story of my season, though. I've been having trouble scoring runs all season long. If this persists, I will be forced to go and grab a decent bat during the trade deadline.

I thought Canseco's comments on Grieve were interesting, suggesting that steroids could have helped Grieve more than most players, because he had a good "pure" swing, but lacked power and speed, and you need one or the other.

I haven't heard Canseco's comments, but I don't doubt that Grieve would've benefited from steroids. He had a sweet stroke with average power and with the help of steroids, he could have gotten to an elite level.
