I usually appreciate his writing, right or wrong he throws ideas and observations out there—but take away an above average defensive outfielder, younger player, someone who looks like maybe a real nice #3 or #5 hitter in the years to come, and “all-around good guy” to boot?!

Seriously, I think Curtis must’ve kicked his dog or something.

I’ve thought about this since he last brought this up, and quite frankly, I don’t see who’s going to do this deal that he thinks will be so great. There are a great many teams with young, up and coming CFs, or with established, solid veterans. Last time he talked about getting two players, a reliever, a second baseman or a replacement CF. But I can’t thin of a single team that would supply two of those things. Now, he says they need a SS. Never mind that he’s proclaimed Raburn will be great in left, but that the Tigers would be getting a corner outfielder for Granderson. For G-d’s sake, make up your mind.

I love Curtis Granderson as the Tigers Center Fielder BUT… He is a valuble commodity and the Tigers should listen to offers this Winter. Many of us complained when DD shipped out the un touchable prospects a couple of years ago but I’d make that trade again tomorrow, I just wouldn’t sign Willis to a two year extension.

Granderson is bright, articulate, involved in the community and one of those players that MLB loves to market. His value is probably down a little after last season’s backslide against lefties but he should STILL command a great deal in a trade. IF the Tigers could get a legitimate closer as well as a second basemen or shortstop I’d make the deal.

Lynn Henning has ALWAYS been controversial because he is like us, a somewhat knowledgeable baseball fan who has access to the players and the behind the scenes guys. He often makes wild predictions that do not come true BUT he is often right as well.

Give the guy a little bit of a break, he is entertaining as hell and ALWAYS creates stuff we can talk about here for weeks!
