FACTS/ FLUKES: Grilli, Lake, de la Rosa, Pagan, Ruiz

1H repeat a tall order for Grilli ... Jason Grilli (RHP, PIT) had just a handful of saves to his credit when he inherited the 9th inning role a season ago. Then a breakout first half that included 27 saves was wrecked by a forearm strain that cost him six weeks on the DL. At 37, is Grilli a worthwhile buy?
