From Tom Gage:
"What you are going to read in stories coming out of Wednesday night's 9-6 victory over the Angels is that Curtis Granderson has now matured to the point that he could be moved down in the lineup.
[...]
"Well, the manager now feels Granderson has arrived. The catch is, however, that he's not going to move him because the Tigers don't have a "pure leadoff hitter" to replace Granderson at the top of the lineup. So he's staying there."

so stupid
So we take a guy whose become a BETTER hitter and put him in a position to get FEWER at bats.
Curtis leads the team in OBP he should be no where but the leadoff spot.
The leadoff hitter's role has changed
Obviously, “setting the table” is still a priority. But for the Tigers, Grandy can do even more. The Tigers have plenty of middle of the order hitters already, but they don’t have anyone else who can provide what he brings to the leadoff spot.
