    According to Buster Olney he also changed his last name to Goodwin:

    If the contacts work we'll be calling him Curtis Goodwood.

    Re: 2010 Curtis Granderson Performance Thread

    Curtis Granderson is actually just an average male American. Why? Because like most average male Americans, sex is his top priority or so it seems. Last July, while in Seattle, he slept with my wife. Total unadulterated sex. I am a married father of two. My wife and I were struggling more than I actually realized. He met her at a Mariner’s game that she was attending. He gave her comp tickets for the next day’s game. He took her back to his hotel room and had intercourse wiht a maried mother of two,knowingly. Shame on professional sports for condoning this type fo behavior. Shame on America for condoning this type of behavior. Shame on Curtis for taking the only beautiful thing that I had. P.S. I’m still married to her through thick and thin.

    Quote Originally Posted by delv

    Granderson has thrown away his old approach and positioning against left-handed pitchers and will now use the same approach that he has vs. right-handers.

    "What I've done in positioning and approach [vs.] right-handers, mirror that against left-handers," Granderson explained. "Keep the body in the same position against both right-handed balls and left-handed balls, just because you want the ball to get deeper and go the other way, doesn't mean that your body goes the other way."

    Essentially, Granderson was taking himself out of a solid hitting position when a left-hander was on the mound by thrusting his body and head forward or sometimes overcorrecting and getting so closed he couldn't let loose with a swing.

    "I didn't understand that was happening, but since high school I've done that," Granderson said.

    Under the tutelage of hitting coach Kevin Long (another vital Yankee in the final year of his contract), Granderson is attempting to change all that.

    When the games start the results will not necessarily be in base hits, it's going to be "am I in the right spot," Granderson said. "I want to be the position that if the pitch is thrown in or thrown away, my body is in the physical position to do both. That's where I haven't been the past few seasons.

    "In the beginning of the year last year I was there, but left-handed pitchers changed their approach and I tried to change with them and I didn't get it right."
    Long said it's a correctable problem. The Yankees wouldn't have made the trade for Granderson if Long couldn't tackle the issue.

    "It's not as far off as I thought it would be, he's really coming along," Long said. "I think he's going to do well. He's got a nice swing. . . . He's capable of being successful vs. lefties. I'm not saying it's going to be great overnight but I think the process is in place."

    If Granderson becomes acceptable against left handed pitchers, Kevin Long deserves a huge raise.

    Agree 100%, even if he only hits .250 against them, I will be more than happy, considering his career split.

    Yes, truly minor. Who the lefthander happened to be is not really that important. The thought process and the ability/willingness to adapt is what is important in that story. So your original post was correct, very encouraging news!

    His fielding so far has been less than awe inspiring. Yeah, the wind was blowing, but the other teams CFer wasn't doing pirouettes to get to every ball

    He's looked awful @ the plate also- even against RHers
