It’s been a bit of a roller coaster experience for Curtis Granderson since joining the Yankees before the 2010 season. What started off as high levels of excitement and anticipation about acquiring an All Star-caliber player in his prime [...]
This past weekend, two slightly odd things about the Yankees and their outfield situation were reported. After they inked Ichiro Suzuki to a two year deal (something I’m not entirely a fan of, but that’s really neither here nor there), we learned that the Yankees had talked to the Angels about a trade [...]
About three years ago, just after winning the 2009 World Series, the Yankees traded Austin Jackson, an up and coming prospect in the team’s farm system, for Curtis Granderson, an established commodity in Detroit. The Yankees were trading potential for performance. Jackson wasn’t developing as quickly as a hitter as [...]
I’m fond of writing “what a difference a year makes” on this site, but in the case of Curtis Granderson you have to ask what a difference a few games make? Granderson had an odd season. He hit a career high 43 homers, but he also had a career worst .319 on base [...]
Here’s the good with Curtis Granderson: he’s a home run and walk machine. For the second consecutive season as a Yankee Curtis knocked in at least forty homers. That’s good. He continues to have a walk rate above 10%, also good. Now, here’s the bad: .226/.315/.477. That’s Curtis’ season batting line. There’s no [...]
A superficial look at the 2012 season of Curtis Granderson might lead one to wonder what it is Yankee fans are complaining about. He’s among the league leaders in HRs and is one of the best ambassadors of the game. But more astute observers, folks who watch him everyday will yell you there are gaping [...]
The Yankees took care of business in their biggest game of the season. Curtis Granderson didn’t start the game, but he emerged as the star going 3-for-3 with 5 RBI and his 35th homer of the season. As strong as Granderson’s performance was, the Yankees didn’t actually need it. Zach Britton [...]
Analyzing The Grandy-Slump
By Michael Eder On September 7, 2012 · 12 Comments · In Organizational Philosophies, PitchFX, Player Analysis
Curtis Granderson sucks lately. I don’t believe I’ve ever described a player that way before, at least in writing. Especially a Yankee player. When it boils down to it, the centerfielder was supposed to carry this team. After all, the Grandyman can. Yet since June 1st, he’s hit just .214/.300/.430. Matt I. broke [...]
The Yankees just completed a miserable 2-4 road trip on which the team averaged just three runs per game. This stretch of games isn’t representative of the true abilities of the Yankee offense, but it highlights the fact that the team just isn’t putting the same kind of hitters in the batter’s box that it [...]
The Yankees won a sleepy Sunday afternoon game, 4-2 over the Indians. The game was odd. The Yankees never trailed, effectively winning the game when they plated three runs in the second inning, but the team stranded a ton of base runners. Four runs on eleven hits is a poor outcome, especially since one of [...]
