Curtis Granderson Is Leadoff Candidate
6 years agoMiami Marlins manager Don Mattingly said that outfielder Curtis Granderson is a possible leadoff hitter for the team this season. The Fish plan to experiment with many different lineups, but the soon-to-be 38-year-old has been good at getting on base in his healthy 15-year career. Grandy hit .242/.351/.431 with 13 long balls and 38 RBI in 123 games with the Blue Jays and Brewers last year and could be a platoon option against right-handers in the outfield with his new club. He's in a bad hitting environment and doesn't steal bases anymore, but hitting leadoff regularly would be a boost to his DFS and NL-only value.
