Bizarro Trifecta: Grandy’s Birthday, Charles Hudson and Jose Capellan
Published 3/17/2009 by Mike McClary at The Daily Fungo – Detroit Tigers Baseball: Yesterday and Today
Happy 28th Birthday, Curtis Granderson. The sooner you get back to Lakeland, the better. Today is also the birthday of Charles Hudson. His only distinction in Tigers lore is that he’s the guy Detroit traded Tom Brookens for 19 years and 51 weeks ago today. Hudson appeared in 18 games and posted a 1-5 record with a plump 6.35 ERA. Jose Capellan? For real? Finally, in our most recent Daily Fungo Pulse Check, we asked Who should get ...

Curtis Granderson is the new face of Detroit sports

... , people who don't follow hockey regularly are not familiar with the greatness of the Datsyuks, Zetterbergs, Hossas, et. al. of the world. The Lions? Not so much. That leaves the Tigers, who have a few stars in Justin Verlander, Magglio Ordonez and Miguel Cabrera. But only one guy has both the on-field skill and the off-field motivation and charisma to become the face of Detroit sports: Curtis Granderson. First, look at his numbers since he became a full-time player . He has an OPS+ over 120 the last two seasons, he will hit about 20 home runs, bat about .300, steal 20 or so ...

The Tigers certainly didn't have the season that we expected but it was nice to see Grandy, despite the early season injury, be able to lead the AL in triples (13) and rank second in runs scored (112).

... depressed offense in the American league this year as his 95 OPS+ is close to his 98 OPS+ of 2006. But it was 136 last year! It's possible that 2007 was a career year and that 2006 was more representative of what his typical year will be. Of course, none of us (including myself) like that answer. Another possibility is that the time off because of the hand injury messed up his swing or timing. To investigate his difficulties further, I'll again (as I did with Cabrera) use data from Baseball Reference and ...

He improved in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. He again led the team in RBI and led the team in doubles and walks. He posted a better OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) than Ken Griffey Jr., Ichiro Suzuki, Aaron Rowand or Curtis Granderson. Then came his spring training rant.

Monday's Bunts and Boots--Timid Tigers, Animal Bannister, and Showboat Gomes

... What has been Detroit's undoing? Well, just about everything. We knew the bullpen would be questionable because of first-half injuries to Joel Zumaya and Fernando Rodney, but the Tigers' problems extend well beyond the identity of the set-up corps to Todd Jones. With arguably the most talented lineup from top to bottom in the league, the Tigers were supposed to make a run at 1,000 runs this summer. Well, that's not going to happen. Injuries to Curtis Granderson and Gary Sheffield have shackled the offense, which has shown a disturbing tendency to ground into double plays ...

Successful farm system has paid huge dividends for Tigers

... elite teams. However, money doesn't make trades happen. It only attracts dollar-seeking free agents. And if you look at the Tigers' now-explosive lineup, several of the big hitters have been acquired through trades. How have the Tigers made these trades? By giving up prospect after prospect from a highly successful farm system that continues to develop sought-after players. Here's the projected lineup for 2008 (not necessarily in the right order): CF Curtis Granderson, 2B Placido Polanco, 3B Miguel Cabrera, RF Magglio Ordonez, DH ...

The Granderson Special
Published 9/17/2007 by Jake at Motown Sports Revival
Last week, Curtis Granderson became just the third player in MLB history to reach 20 stolen bases, 20 doubles, 20 triples, and 20 home runs in a season. Granderson joined Willie Mays and Frank Schulte in that exclusive club. Any time a player accomplishes something that only two other players in history have accomplished, it certainly is note-worthy. Even more note-worthy is when a player accomplishes something that nobody has accomplished in MLB history. While much of the baseball world was busy being infatuated with “round” numbers in admiring Granderson’s 20 x 4 feat, he has since created his own exclusive club of at least 22 stolen bases, 22 doubles, 22 triples, and 22 home runs. That number could go up to 23 or 24 before the season ends. Chances are you didn’t hear the same sort of countdown for 22 x 4 in the same way there was for the 20 x 4 feat. Granderson joined a club when he reached ...
