Grammatical Error in the Organizational Reports

I normally don't make an issue about errors, grammatical or otherwise but, when the sense of a sentence is altered by the use of a wrong term, I would agree that bringing up the issue in a constructive manner, as is done with this thread, is a great idea.
I imagine, however, that the above error might not have made it to print as material intended for print is almost always proof-read.

I vote for "foreshadow" or "herald", but "indicate" would probably work. But I don't portend to be an expert in grammar.

Yes, "portend" would be a good choice. Or if you want to be clever, just drop one letter and change it to "prelude" (used as a transitive verb, not the musical noun).

Grammatical Error in the Organizational Reports
I tried to send a private message to Deric but he does not have that option enabled. So I post this publicly instead.
In the minor league organizational report for Arizona (http://www.baseballhq.com/members/minors/08ari.shtml) (and maybe in other places, I don't know), talking about Max Scherzer, there is this sentence:
Struggles to change speeds and hasn’t shown much stamina which may preclude a move to relief.
I don't much care, but if this can prevent this error (and others like it) from reaching the print material, might as well correct it now.
