Here's Granderson's splits last year also- .241 .309 .494 – April .270 .362 .486 – May .262 .347 .456 – June .253 .343 .453 – July .248 .319 .438 – August .227 .280 .445 – September Granderson's AVG and OBP weren't that good to start off with, but He just kept declining. Now that's troubling. If Austin Jackson hits like that for us in April and May, he’ll be immortalized by the time June rolls around.

Here’s Granderson’s splits last year also-
.241 .309 .494 – April
.270 .362 .486 – May
.262 .347 .456 – June
.253 .343 .453 – July
.248 .319 .438 – August
.227 .280 .445 – September

Granderson’s AVG and OBP weren’t that good to start off with, but He just kept declining. Now that’s troubling.

Girardi is #27...but he wants to change to #28 next season to symbolize the Yank quest for title #28. So which wins, the player-friendly gesture, or the managerial gimmick? My money is on the gimmick, since he can sell it as being about "the team" and knows Curtis is too polite and humble to complain One minor tangent to the Granderson trade is that we’ll find out something about Girardi…Curtis has worn number 28 his whole career, and the only two other numbers he has worn in his life are retired and belong to Jeter.

On my screen it shows a zero. If you click to expand his stats then it shows the numbers. For some reason every pitcher shows 0 for their BLSV column for careers. Hmm. On my screen it shows a zero.

Rodney has 26 career blown saves, to go with 70 saves.

I have nothing against Rodney, I just don't think he's going to be worth as much going forward as he will want to be paid. I see a 26 in the BLSV column …

Maybe people that are sour on Rodney forgot that he has zero blown saves for his entire career, at least according to ESPN!... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=5111 I like him too, but I prefer Lyon over him.
