It's been an up and down year for the Homestead Grays, starting with 1st-rounder Alex Rodriguez missing roughly the first month of the season with a hip injury. Inconsistency in the rotation has plagued the team all season long, but Zack Greinke is a legimate budding ace to build around. The high-profile, high-power and high-paid offence carries the team but with seven regulars all $25 or more, it will be interesting to see who the Homestead Grays group together to form the core of the franchise for years to come.
