Rumors have it that Grady Sizemore is planning a return. As pointed out by MLB Trade Rumor, the three-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove winner, is nowhere near baseball shape, but he has hopes of making a comeback.
Rumors also have it that the Minnesota Twins will be possible suitors for Sizemore. The 30-year-old could join the likes of Aaron Hicks, Josh Willingham and Chris Parmelee, who are the top outfielders in the Twins' organization. Long gone, it seems, are the days where the Twins were competitors in the A.L. Central. Now, with injured and aging stars, the Twins are willing to take a chance on a guy like Sizemore.
Similar to the Twins' competitive days, truly long gone are the days where Sizemore was one of the more feared hitters in the game of baseball while playing with the Cleveland Indians. When he wasn't at bat, he was a threat on the base pads and when not stealing bases, he was a threat in the outfield, running down balls and helping his pitching staff win games and make playoff runs.
Sizemore had his best season in 2008. He hit 33 home runs and drove in 90 RBI while stealing 38 bases. He hit .268 and posted a .374 on-base percentage. Sizemore hasn't been on a baseball field since 2011 when he hit 10 home runs, drove in 32 runs and hit .224 with the Indians.
