Thread: 2010 Curtis Granderson Performance Thread

  1. #1

    2010 Curtis Granderson Performance Thread

    Beginning with Press Conference/choice of number.


    I'm guessing #22

    The coming of The Carpenter.

    I thought it was 28, just as in Detroit,

    Girardi wants 28. We'll see who acquiesces.

    I want Girardi to take 28 like he said. Maybe Granderson can take his #27.

    He was introduced to the team but couldn't properly shake hands with Sabathia, Pettitte, and Marte.

    I feel Girardi should keep 27.
    If they ask who was our star, give them twenty five names, and if you forget our names, just tell them we were Yankees.

    I'd rather Girardi just keep 27, changing his number after each championship is kind of over the top. 27 is his first (of hopefully many) championships as a manager that should hold enough meaning for him to keep it.

    Give Granderson 28 and let him be the guy that comes in and helps us get to #28.

    If Girardi has to change his number to 29 I'm sure we'll be ok with it.

    The following quotes are from Curtis Granderson, responding via email on gettin traded by #Tigers to #Yankees 24 minutes ago from web


    but I also want to wish both the Detroit Tigers and Arizona Diamondbacks the best of luck next season," Curtis Granderson wrote in closing. 20 minutes ago from web

  30. Sometimes change is good. My job is to now work as hard as I can to help the New York Yankees win their 28th World Series 20 minutes ago from web
  31. Obviously this is a trade that three teams felt would be beneficial to each of them for different reasons and in different ways. 21 minutes ago from web
  32. I've established a lot of great relationships in Detroit, not just with other players, but also with fans, businesses and the community 21 minutes ago from web
  33. Trade speculation and rumors happen every year with so many players, so until it's final, you really can't think too hard about it. 22 minutes ago from web
  34. I really didn't think about it much until I actually received the call from Mr. Dombrowski. 22 minutes ago from web
  35. It really hasn't sunk in yet. I'm sad to be leaving one great organization and excited to joining another great organization. 23 minutes ago from web

    BS. No one is sad to be leaving Detroit unless it's for Iraq or Newark... maybe.

    He can't exactly say "hahaha! See you suckers later! Bet you wish you didn't get smashed before that game, don't you Cabrera! Enjoy your pot-hole filled commute through the ghetto! I'm going to play for the World Series champions along side A-rod, Derek Jeter, CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, Mariano Rivera, and Mark Teixera. Enjoy the fire sale for the rest of the season! Hey, Verlander- be sure to give me a call before you file for free agency so I can give Cashman a heads up!"

    Oh God, how I don't miss Michigan.

    True, you can get out of Newark, run for a day or two and probably end up somewhere half decent.

    You run out of Detroit and it doesn't get any better till about... umm... Pittsburgh? It's like prision, but instead of bars they have pot holes to keep you in and hundreds of miles of equally-undesirable land surrounding it if case you make it past city borders.

    More seriously, is there any chance he can be a half-assed hitter against LHP after working with Kevin Long? I just don't want other teams to be able to turn him him into be an auto-out/GIDP by bringing in a LH reliever anytime he's up in a close and late game.

    Re: 2010 Curtis Granderson Performance Thread

    Curtis Granderson has worn No. 28 since 2005, the same number he wore in college. Joe Girardi plans on wearing that number in 2010, and the numbers Granderson wore as a youngster - 2 and 8 - aren’t exactly available.

    Not that Granderson minds. He wore 26 during his first big-league callup, and with Jose Molina headed elsewhere, I’d bet that’s what he wears with the Yankees.
