Fantasy Analysis
Granderson has been slow to adjust to the steady diet of breaking balls he's been seeing since just after he returned to the Detroit roster from a late-spring broken finger. He got off to a good start in his mid-April return, but at month's turn he cooled off as pitchers switched from fastballs to off-speed and breaking pitches. However, he's still someone to keep active in all formats as the Tigers' speedy, powerful leadoff hitter. (Updated 05/15/2008).
Granderson was hitless in five at-bats in Tuesday's loss to the Royals. (Updated 05/14/2008)
Advice
