I've seen him sign autographs and talk to fans here in Lakeland long after other players have left the field. Brandon Inge does the same thing.Tom Hagertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07579309471222526625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285026999855417119.post-54488993101359401962009-11-13T05:52:17.096-08:002009-11-13T05:52:17.096-08:00I said a few days ago that only Verlander or Porce...I said a few days ago that only Verlander or Porcello are untouchable. I just expanded my list to include Granderson. He's just too classy, as well as a super-performer. He's the kind of guy the Tiger's should look to build a lifetime relationship with. Just because he had one bad year isn't a good reason to dump him.

I think Granderson wil lbounce back with a big year in 2010. I would not trade Verlabder or Porcello. Anyone else, yes--for the right price.Tom Hagertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07579309471222526625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285026999855417119.post-9938464813241334842009-11-12T15:46:04.037-08:002009-11-12T15:46:04.037-08:00well nobody is indispensable, but I would say that...well nobody is indispensable, but I would say that Granderson is THE franchise player - yes his production fell off this year, but still he is the man. O f course as you said it would depend on who they get. Dumbrowski's decisions scare me.<br /><br />How about Brookens as fist base coach? He was always a class act.Chuck Piotrowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587415400958055622noreply@blogger.com
