You hear a lot of talk about the health, or lack thereof, of Kerry Wood and
Mark Prior.
But they aren't the big story in Chicago. The big story in Chicago is
non-roster invitee Marquis Grissom. Why, you say? What could a 39-year-old
outfielder who played in just 44 games last season in San Francisco possibly
bring to the mix?
Just this: If he makes the club, and if, say, the young Matt Murton
struggles early in the season, or strains a hammy or some such sadness, the Cubs
could play Marquis alongside Juan Pierre and Jacque Jones giving them what I
believe to be the major leagues' first-ever All Faux French Outfield, which
would, you know, be pretty funny.
Viva la France.
