After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

I think it's more an idea of seeing how he acclimates to his new club, IE: how's he throwing the ball. What's working for him, and what's not. He's not going to be put into pressure situations until the Angels see how he can handle them, and if he's REALLY healthy or not.
So Smith is going to be the guy, IMO, until they see what Grilli brings to the table, and not before..."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Even more strange:
As Grilli and Frieri were traveling across the country in opposite directions to join their new teams, they both had a layover at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. When Grilli entered one of the many restrooms at one of the busiest airports in the country, who did he bump into and have a conversation with? That's right.
