Clay Grady - anyone know his status? At season opener, Szefc indicated he
would miss 3 weeks with a broken hand that had occurred recently. Obviously missed the season - aggravated injury, or is he sitting out to play next year, or just moving on?

I saw he went through senior day activities. Have to imagine...
he either re-aggravated it or decided to sit the year and take a redshirt b/c if you're going to try your hand at the majors, you still want to get some swings in and you have to think CJS would get him a couple ABs if he's healthy.

Clay is a hometown product so I've been in his corner. And Clay played
superb defense when he was playing. I'm surprised that Pete Danial is so good, he is really good. Clay is a senior and Pete is a (edited) junior. ** Edited by IB4TECH at 5/21/2026, 5:59:59 PM

Clay had a freakish hand injury. Don’t know if it ever healed properly. If
he’s hometown guy for you, are you in Suffolk?

I had an audit client based in Suffolk before I retired from audit work.
Also, a high school classmate was a dentist in Franklin for quite a while.

My wife and I were out in Wyoming in 2018. We got to talking to
a retired guy who was doing volunteer work. His daughter was teaching in Windsor.

and good chance Daniel is drafted this July, which is why I thought Grady
was possibly taking a redshirt after missing the beginning of the year, but no idea. ** Edited by vtfin91 at 5/21/2026, 10:55:24 AM

Could work with Daniel going rounds 5-10. He's gone.
