My favorite player of all time. Wish he would have closed out his career as a Tiger but so be it.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Still thought he was a better player before he decided he wanted to be a power hitter.

 

[Rebbiv]

Probably the most liked player in baseball. A complete "gentle"man.

I think I would vote average

 

[Tigrrman]

I think I would vote average

With a 16-yr career @ 114 OPS+ .. I'd want to vote better than just good ..and lean toward Excellent.

 

[Tigrrman]

Does anyone else think Curtis Granderson would be an excellent choice to join Matt Shepard as the Tigers television play-by-play announcer?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Rate as a Tiger. He was excellent.

 

[Rebbiv]

I think I would vote average

Average players don't make it into their late 30's. Just saying.

Curtis Granderson retires; his connection to Detroit Tigers fans never wavered.

Congrats to Curtis Granderson, who announced his retirement, on a terrific career. With 344 home runs, over 1200 runs scored and 47.3 career WAR, he was one of the top outfielders of the past 15 years. My favorite Granderson stat: His 23 triples for the Tigers in 2007. Nobody has hit 20 since then. The last player to hit more? Kiki Cuyler in 1925.

if they continue to play to an average level they will. They don't just get rid of an average player because they are old.

The recently-retired outfielder had a tremendous career, but his best year may have been in the Motor City after a trip to the World Series.

so he was good for 5 years?

 

[Mitchrapp]

so he was good for 5 years?

So you don't think he had any good years when he played for Detroit? Because those add on to those 5 years. Add 2011 etc.. and he was a heck of player. Lots of good years. And for Detroit he was the Catalyst. Which was really the question, how do you rate him as a Tiger.
