The Grandy Man Can


In all the land, Curtis Granderson is second to Jose Bautista in Home Runs since the All-Star Break of last year. The question is, should you be selling high or buying low?

The Grandy Man, a former 2nd Team All-American at U. of Illionois- Chicago, is on pace to hit 56 HR's this year. You can't argue with the power from Granderson, he has 16 HR's already, averaging a ding-dong every 10.8 ABS. While he has been consistently killing the ball all year, if you can get some other top 20 fantasy players with a trade, get it done son. 

I have been rejecting offers to get Granderson since the season started, and have kicked myself every time he goes deep. Interesting Stat: Out of Bautista's 19 HR's, 12 would have been out of all 30 ballparks. For Granderson's 16, only 6. 

Yes the Grandy Man plays in New York, short RF Porch, I know. But Granderson hasn't show a high enough B.A. to be considered an elite player. He is 30 years old, and won't be stealing too many bases this year. At the end of the year, Grandy will drop his BA to somewhere around .240-.250 (.avg of .248 over last two seasons), so if you are hurting in B.A., you don't want him. 

ADVICE: SELL HIGH
