What does Randal Grichuk bring to Colorado?

Bill Schmidt continues to be busy in his first year as the Rockies' permanent general manager. In his first trade as the sole face at the helm, Schmidt sent Raimel Tapia to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for Randal Grichuk. In a down year last season, Grichuk began to lose regular playing time with a Toronto team that is crowded with talent. Tapia was bumped from his regular spot in Colorado, so a change of scenery could be exactly what both players need. Toronto gets a versatile bench piece, while the Rockies add an everyday bat that can help provide some pop that they surely need.
