If Grissom kills it in this SSS, does Swanson contract get less likely?
Another question... if Grissom can play, could this perhaps help get albies back early as DH?
There are serious questions about Grissom's range at SS. He's very talented and a good defender, but he'll probably stick at 2B or just play super utility. Swanson is a far superior SS.

Re: Swanson and Grissom
I don’t think Grissom lighting the world on fire needs to play an outsized role on the SS decision. Braves have long needed a do it all super utility type. Camargo was tried in that role and failed. Arcia exceeded expectations as infielder, but his inability to play the OF limited to being a backup infielder. Shewmake busted but he could have been an option.
If Grissom works out, that’s a huge asset going forward. Of course there is always going to be an injury so he will get plenty of playing time.
If Grissom comes up and plays well and hits then I’d teach him to play OF all offseason long. But it does give AA a backup plan in case Dansby gets priced out of Atlanta.
Wow
We are going to have 3 super young rookies playing big roles.
Should bat Grissom ninth- he will get a little more protection from acuna, and Harris can steal more from 8th….
I agree, move Harris to 8th.. you would have super speed at 8/9/1/2 ... if those guys are able to get on base, then it will make it very hard on opposing pitching.
Coppy
There’s no way we can realistically expect Grissom to succeed with 97 AA PAs under his belt. It’s just not something that happens in baseball.
I’m stoked to see this kid in action though.

FG projects Grissom at .264/.324/.391 (almost exactly MLB average). That would be a good outcome for these next few weeks, and we should be very satisfied with such results.
I'm guessing he shows a little more power than that.
