And I've always said that about players, too. You know, when players are out, Oh, they should be back in the hotel room.

"Obviously, I never want him out of the lineup, but I feel like it's one of those that hopefully pays some dividends in the long run of keeping him fresh."

This will represent the first time the two brothers share a baseball field since 2005, and the first time that they do so not as players, but as coaches.

Even in the Yankees' wildest dreams they might not have seen this version of Grisham coming, at least not to this extent.
