Curtis, we've missed ya.
That may have been the exact sentiments shared between the entire Detroit Tiger team and Curtis Granderson, who made his season debut today versus the Texas Rangers. Following an injury that broke bones in his hand after getting smacked with a fastball in spring training, Granderson started the season on the disabled list and rehabbed for 5 games before returning to Motown.
The Tigers offense has, well, sucked, to be blunt. Management has started to take some heavy criticism for all of the money it spent in the offseason, but you have to put something on the fact that Granderson, the team's leadoff hitter, is certainly the sparkplug of the team and it could mean a huge boost to the team's chemistry overall--and for the Tigers, they are certainly begging that to be the case.
Granderson is not just simply a leadoff hitter, he does a little bit of everything--last year, Granderson batted over .300 and became one of four players in Major League history to hit 20 home runs, 20 doubles, 20 triples and steal 20 bases in a single season. Basically, as a master of the obvious, you NEED to have this type of player in your lineup--perhaps you'll see a very different team now.
