Curtis Granderson got his 10th triple tonight.

[NewUserName]

I know he will never get to the single season record of 36. Getting over 20 has been pretty rare since the 1920s though. If he gets into the mid-20s he will be in pretty select company.

I don't really think those players would help Detroit out much.

 

Eyre maybe they could use. Jones would just replace Granderson at CF. I guess they could move Craig Monroe to CF and put Jones in LF. Maggs in CF? But do they really want Izturis in that Utility IF position? I mean they do have Neifi :lol:

I'd make them throw in Neifi.

It would definitely crash this board for a full week, that's for sure.

Good God, 36 triples in a season seems insane nowadays. Is that a Cobb record?

[JeffH]

Lance Berkman got his second double of the season last night.

 

The Anti-Granderson.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Hes on my fantasy team :twisted:

no, cobb's season high was 20. It belongs to the immortal Chief Wilson. You have to go all the way down to 23 triples before the first guy from the post-World War II era.

Granderson will probably be available in a couple of years when Maybin is ready. I dont think Granderson would be a very valuable corner outfielder though. He is a pretty good CF.

[TheDude]

There is no solid read on Granderson yet. Last year's OPS was a dismal .773. This year he's at .905. He's 26 years old.

 

Not sure if he's peaking with a career year in his years 26-28 curve, or if he is establishing a breakout production standard for his next 2-3 years.

His first half last year was really good and the tailed off in the 2nd half. I think he will be a plus .800 ops guy, which is good for CF. He isnt really a lead-off man though.

 

When Maybin does come up in a couple of years, I think someone is going to give too much for Granderson.

Granderson is a very good defensive CF'er. His jump in numbers is b/c he's hitting an amazing amount of XBH, he's on pace to surpass what Ryno did '84 as far as the 20TR (Ryno had 19), 20HR, and 20SB.

 

While I doubt he'll con't this pace, he's a very good player regardless. What he is doing right now, might not be too far off of what Pie's ceiling is (Hopefully Pie will hit for a better avg. and make more contact long-term)

Isn't that a bit over the top? Dismal? His OPS+ was significantly better than Juan Pierre's, 99 to 81. Certainly that's not good, but as a cheap, young CF, it's acceptable.

granderson has 2 triples tonight. only in the 3rd inning.

That puts him 1/3rd the way to the record. ESPN should start breaking in for his ABs pretty soon.
