After another phenomenal catch bu Curtis Granderson tonight, Rod Allen of Fox Sports Detroit said that Granderson had been playing Gold Glove caliber centerfield for the Tigers this season.
Granderson isn’t going to win the Gold Glove. It takes several years to build the kind of reputation needed to win that award. Guys like Torii Hunter, Ichiro Suzuki and Vernon Wells have been doing it longer.
But Granderson has turned heads with his play in center this season.
Originally it was thought that super-prospect Cameron Maybin was the centerfielder of the future for the Tigers. Granderson may be changing that thinking.
Cameron Maybin has been brought up to play in tonight’s game against the Yankees. I am sure you’ve heard about the release of Monroe today (yipee). Infante was sent to Toledo. I guess they gave Monroe the option to go to Toledo and he refused, so they released him today.
