Yes. He's been marginal since the middle of last season, but he's been
brutal since mid-May. His bad speed is zero, and his strike-zone vision has
left him. His only saving (heh) grace is that he's not nearly as miserable a
defender as Shea Hillenbrand, but that shouldn't be sufficient to keep him
around.

He's good at home (batting .291 with some pop), but terrible on the
road (8 for 64). Of course, Brenly's had him batting more on the road
to take advantage of this.

Grace basically traded a ticket to the Hall of Fame for a World Series ring


Had he had a few good years from 2000 thru 2003 (and even next year if he
decides to play), he could have reached the 3000 hit plateau.

It ain't gonna happen now. That's too bad as he was one of my favorite
players on the Cubs.
