2006

After going pro as an undrafted free agent, Toronto acquired Gronkiewicz in the minor league portion of the Rule 5 draft last year. Consider this the benefit of the Jays giving `short` righthanders the benefit of the doubt. The only thing he has going against him is his age, but with all the solid bullpen options floating around the system that may be enough to keep him down in Syracuse.
