2023 Fantasy Outlook
Grichuk was traded from Toronto to Colorado after the end of the lockout in March, but he didn't take advantage of having half his games at Coors Field as he finished 2022 with an 88 wRC+. He appeared in 141 games during his first year with the Rockies but failed to provide much value at the plate or in the field. Grichuk, who will turn 32 years old in August, is entering his final year under contract and is in dire need of a rebound in 2023 after back-to-back down seasons. Grichuk should open spring training with a good chance to retain a starting job, but if his struggles continue it wouldn't be surprising to see the Rockies turn to one of their younger outfield options.

Expects to be back in mid-April
Grichuk (groin) expects to return to the Rockies lineup in mid-April, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Grichuk is able to go through regular workouts now and is ramping back up his baseball activities following offseason hernia surgery. It does not appear he will be ready to play in any Cactus League games before the schedule runs out, but he could stay back in extended spring training to get more work in to prepare for a mid-April return.

Stat Review
How does Randal Grichuk compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

The RotoWire Roundtable Rankings feature a new player at the top, with Ronald Acuna slipping past Trea Turner to lead a tightly-packed top five.

Erik Halterman tackles the biggest risers and fallers around the league since spring training games began, starting with Jazz Chisholm who comes with some risk but potentially offers a huge payout.

The RotoWire Roundtable crew shares their updated rankings, with changes as early as the second pick of the draft.

Erik Halterman covers every NL job up for grabs during spring training, including the shortstop job in Atlanta where Vaughn Grissom likely will battle it out with Orlando Arcia.

Grichuk was one of the few Blue Jays to register a disappointing season as his 85 wRC+ and .300 wOBA were both career lows. Grichuk also set new personal worsts with a 5.0 BB% and 12.6% HR/FB. On the other hand, Grichuk's career-best 20.9 K% marked the fourth straight season his K% improved. Grichuk struggled in the second half, recording a 208/.267/.355 line which dropped him into the lesser side of a platoon in September. He walked more and fanned less after the break, although he didn't hit the ball with as much authority, accounting for the drop in production. For the season, Grichuk's defense improved, which could help him regain a full-time job in 2022. While there is a chance Grichuk is in a decline phase, there is a better chance his power rebounds a bit. The more relevant concern is playing time as Toronto may look for a lefty swinger to replace Corey Dickerson.
