Outlook

Another player coming off a career year, Grabavoy should bolster the Quakes' midfield in his return to California. He played three seasons with the Galaxy, before being traded to the Crew in 2006. Grabavoy can get up and down the flanks, while also having the ability to play in the middle of the field. After netting three goals a year ago, the Illinois native should also provide a scoring option out of the midfield for the Quakes.
