Royals star Salvador Perez gives new WhiteSox manager Pedro Grifol rave reviews.
Considering he has yet to lose a game or make a head-scratching pitching change, they are all positive.
"Conversations have been great," Katz said."There's been a lot of dialogue. Kind of figuring out where guys are right now, just talking about the team, from the pitching standpoint. Other than that, how it's going to be from last year to this year. I think that comes in due time.Cease and Katz will undoubtedly get to know Grifol much better in the weeks and months ahead.
Before being hired to replace Tony La Russa, Grifol spent 10 years in a variety of coaching and special assignment roles with KC. Six of his seasons with the Royals had Grifol coaching catchers, and he was a major influence on Perez. "He helped me with my career. I've got five Gold Gloves, I think four of them are because of Pedro. The way he kind of worked with me, the way he always was talking to me, like keep your head in the game, situations, staying on top of it, even in the off-season, he meant a lot to me."The Royals also had a manager opening, but they hired Tampa Bay bench coach Matt Quatraro. Grifol was KC's bench coach the last three seasons.
