Didn't Granderson have no training camp and no preseason and still made the roster? That's the only time I can think of there they ever done that. Maybe this suggests that Saheed may not be ready for game 1?
I could be wrong, but I thought he was in camp and played some preseason before he had to serve jail time. Or maybe it was the opposite. But, it's been awhile so I don't really recall. He also may have been cut and put on the PS before being elevated, but it's all fuzzy to me.
