Curtis Granderson strikes out a lot.

Curtis Granderson strikes out a lot.

He may be posting a refreshingly impressive .388 onbase percentage
He may have a .493 slugging percentage going
But unfortunately:

Curtis Granderson strikes out a lot.

Shagging fly balls at a rate nobody else in the league can claim
Leading the lead in almost every statistical defensive category for a centerfielder
But unfortunately:

Curtis Granderson strikes out a lot.

According to EqA, he is among the best offensive centerfielders in baseball
Ranking with the likes of Andruw Jones, Carlos Beltran and Grady Sizemore
But unfortunately:

Curtis Granderson strikes out a lot.

Showing impeccable instincts, he can track down almost any ball hit to centerfield
Coverting many extra-base hits to routine outs
But unfortunately:

Curtis Granderson strikes out a lot.

Displaying constant improvement since he was drafted four years ago
He has answered many a question about his ability
But unfortunately:

Curtis Granderson strikes out a lot.

Fans notice what they can remember, remembering walks back to the dugout
As a result, they foolishly note something about one of the elite young outfielders in Major League Baseball:

Curtis Granderson strikes out a lot.

here is a little granderson tidbit. while playing the mariners in july granderson hit a homerun with my wife. I am a responsible father of two and still love my wife even though she made a huge mistake. granderson is not the future of what makes you a a good player, instead he epitomizes what has gone wrong with athletes using their clout and money to impress. where have all the true heroes of sport gone. Those that hold integrity and morality. Those that represent their communities and the future of their sport. Not these fools that cant keep their filthy paws away from married women. Oh and by the way, she did reveal to him that she was married. I guess that just makes it more exciting.
