Re: Who will have the better career -- Mesoraco or Grandal?

At this point, he's become an extreme mistake hitter with a slow bat. Maybe he improves, but, as is, he's a .230/.280/.400 career backup.

Grandal, meanwhile, despite not being good yet defensively, is at .290/.340/.550.

Easy choice so far.
