I was thinking about Curtis Granderson last night.
I really like Curtis Granderson.
Anytime you see an article about Curtis it is because he is doing something good. He’s raising money, or volunteering, or working with children. He’s an all-around good guy.
I also enjoy watching him play baseball. Not everyone can hand in Babe Ruth’s stat-line, and at 37 years old I’m not sure CG can even hand in Curtis Granderson numbers, but that being said I would love to see him come back to Queens.
I’m no former-agent turned GM, but I do have as much experience running a front office as Wags, and when I put together baseball teams I like to have a veteran presence. Someone who has been doing this a while. Someone who knows how to play the game professionally. Someone who can step in and tell the punk-ass SPs to dial it back, even maybe throw away their lunch.
Curtis has played 15 seasons, and winning seems to follow him around.
I’m not saying to pay him $15M and I’m not saying to start him. But if he were on the bench, could fill-in, could pinch hit with some power, and be in that clubhouse, and be someone I could root for in 2019 – I’d welcome him on my baseball team any time.
