As long as Mark Grace wants to be a broadcaster, team President Derrick Hall hopes Grace is a Diamondbacks broadcaster. Grace signed a three-year contract extension with a team option for 2010 on Monday to remain the club's primary television analyst. It was also announced Monday that Grace will work as an analyst for Fox on national broadcasts.
"To me, Mark Grace is arguably the most entertaining broadcast personality in the game," Hall said. "And his broadcasting talents are starting to get the attention of national media partners, as evidenced by his recent deal with Fox."
Grace will call about 125 games, and Hall said he's expecting Grace to miss between 10 to 20 games because of Fox obligations. óNick Piecoro
