Curtis Granderson Awaits Big Payday After Adam Jones Inks Deal With Baltimore Orioles
There is little doubt now that Curtis Granderson is one of the best centerfielders in all of baseball. Prior to the 2008 season, Granderson signed a five-year deal with the Detroit Tigers worth $30.25 million with a club option for 2013. The New York Yankees are likely to exercise that option on Granderson but would like to work out a long-term deal with the 31 year-old centerfielder...

A rare, nice, easy win for the Yankees as both Andy Pettitte and Alex Rodriguez were in vintage form in an 8-3 win over the Royals. Tomorrow is an off-day and then they head to Oakland for the weekend. Not such a nice night for the minor league affiliates as all three in action lost tonight.

Home Confines Comfort Curtis
Curtis Granderson's run production has been limited to the confines of Yankee Stadium.
It’s been common knowledge that players, regardless of sport, perform better at home. They can sleep in their own beds and can stick to the routines and superstitions that make them comfortable. This season so far, Curtis Granderson has taken home success to a whole new level. It seems...

Granderson goes 5-for-5 with 3 home runs
Curtis Granderson hit a homer in the 1st inning which got the Yankees on the board Thursday night against the Twins, he hit another in the 2nd that tied the game, and another in the 4th that gave them a 7-4 lead. Then he let the crowd down by going 2-for-2 in his final at bats, unable to go for the truly historic 4-homer night.

Curtis Granderson and the extreme shift
If you missed Opening Day then you missed what the Rays did to Curtis Granderson – they used the extreme shift on him that is often reserved for Mark Teixeira. Now as far as I can remember, teams really never used to shift on Granderson before or if they did it was very infrequently. However there is a chance that it could happen more often.

New York Yankees: 3 Up and 3 Down
The New York Yankees posted an AL Best record of 97-65 last year which was second only to Philadelphia in all of baseball. However, they were upended by the Detroit Tigers in the ALDS, primarily due to Detroit’s superior pitching staff. So the Yankees went into the off-season with a goal of shoring up their starting 5.
