HE'S BAAACKKKK!

Grady Sizemore. Remember that name? Sizemore was the Cleveland Indians franchise player and one of the best hitters in baseball in the mid to late 2000's. He made it to the all-star game in 2006, 07, and 08, the season where he set career highs with homers(33), rbi's(90), and stolen bases(38). He was arguably the best leadoff hitter in baseball during his prime(which lasted only 4 seasons), showing an amazing mix of speed and power. Unfortunately, 2008 was the last season of his career in which he was not injury-wrecked. The knee problems started in 2009, when he was only 26 years old. He played only 106 games that season, 33 in 2010, and 77 in 2011, the last time he appeared in a major league game. In those seasons he had miserable batting averages of .248, .211, and .224. Those batting averages, and surgeries on both knees, have lead to no teams having interest in the once-superstar player. That is until now. Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports has reported that the Cincinnati Reds are very serious in signing Sizemore, who need outfield depth as insurance for Billy Hamilton. Even though it seems as if Sizemore has been out of the game forever, keep in mind that he is still only 31 years old. This would be huge for Sizemore to get back into the game, and prove that he can stay healthy and be a productive player.
