Welcome to New York Curtis Granderson.

I was not a big fan of trading Jackson. However I do like this addition alot. Any guy who can bat .280 (I know he hit .249 this year but for him .280 is not out of the question) with 30 HR and 20 SB is alright in my book. Also he seems to be a great guy off the field. I have seen him do interviews on ESPN he seems smart and will be a great addition to this team. Hes under a reasonable contract for the next 4 years and if we can resign him for 2 guess who comes a free agent then Austin Jackson. So why not make this trade keep Granderson around if he produces for 6 years he will be 35 then he can walk. If Austin Jackson becomes a star there is no reason we cant bring him back to play out his prime in New York. Now the only question is what number will Grandy where? He was 28 in Detroit and 28 is available on the Yanks. However he seems like the type of guy who might say that Girardi has first dibs on 28 and take a different number. My guess will be 26.
