No matter how many good to great hitters there are in Detroit's lineup, no hitter is more important to the success of the team then Curtis Granderson. At first I thought this was sarcasm, but then I wasn't sure. Now I'm pretty sure it's not. Then explain why the Tigers are playing like crap against two crappy teams like the Royals and the White Sox, and trailing or lost today? I believe Granderson is more important to that offense, then originally believed. Because it's a handful of games and even the best teams play like crap over stretches of every season. Case in point: 2007 1st half Cubs.
