Granderson has long been considered one of baseball's most liked players, and his talent cannot be questioned. While he had some great seasons in Detroit, the move to New Yankee Stadium, a hitter's dream, should help him take the next step. He probably bats towards the bottom of the Yanks line-up, but will still see a ton of chances to drive in and score runs, since the Yanks order is so deep. .270-95-28-80-20 in 590 AB

Positives / Upside	Getting out of Detroit was exactly what Granderson needed, and to make things that much better, he couldn't have picked a better place to land than with the Yankees. Granderson will develop into an elite outfield option over his next couple of years with the Bombers. His average last year was poor, but each of his previous seasons tell a different story -- he will bounce back. He's young. .280-100-30-90-23 in 620 AB
Negatives / Downside	Granderson hit just .249 last year, which surely kept him from posting truly sensational numbers. Furthermore, he will likely bat towards the bottom of the Yanks line-up, with Nick Johnson likely filling the two hole. This will limit his opportunities to be on base in front of the Yanks big boppers. He also still can't hit lefties and could end up in a platoon. .255-85-23-70-18 in 560 AB
Recommendation	Go the extra dollar
Draft Position	56
