Granderson's so overrated it's not even funny. No chance in hell he has a BABIP around .360 again. He'll be back hitting around .265 which means he's going to be a bonafide out machine.

Granderson has been touted for a while for his tools and last year, his second full season, he put them to use. I see no reason why he wont continue to hit the way he has.

Re: Sizemore/Granderson

I wouldn't put it as harsh as the other poster put it, but there is no way Granderson will hit the way he did last year. Sure his power may improve and he may hit a few more homers, but he won't hit .300 again. He'll probably fall back to around the .270-.275 level assuming his BABIP falls back to a normal level.

Not to mention his absolutely ri-freaking-diculous BABIP against right-handed pitching of .390.

Re: Sizemore/Granderson

Granderson can't hit lefties at all. The fact that his BABIP was much higher against righties isn't what you'd expect (usually when its high you succeed more against the pitchers you're historically weaker against), and if it falls back down he's probably hitting .260 this year.
