Granderson went 2-for-3 and made a great catch in center field to rob Miguel Cabrera of a hit. And he's still adjusting to his new team and higher expectations.
From the MLive.com article:
Granderson has played in a World Series, scored the winning run in an All-Star game and landed on the biggest stage, but still finds himself in pinch-me moments with the Yankees. “Derek Jeter gave me a ride home from (a game in) Bradenton,” he said. “Do I call home and tell friends that I got a ride with him?” Granderson is moving from Royal Oak to Manhattan and into the clubhouse of the world champions. There are three sure Hall of Famers who are his teammates: Mariano Rivera, Alex Rodriguez and Jeter. And Mark Teixeira and CC Sabathia are on track for Cooperstown consideration.

Just another bone head, off the wall, trying to save a buck trade,He was the best or close to it player the tigers ever had. Kinda reminds me of the absolute worst trade that was ever made Allen Iverson for Chauncey Billups its been down the tubes ever since that trade was made and I am glad to see mr Billups is doing just great in denver.Talk about a knee jerk trade
