NFL Curtis Granderson To New York Yankees

It has been reported that fresh, unique,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], original, unusual,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], novel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], modern, current, recent York has acquired outfielder Curtis Granderson in a three-way trade with the Detroit Tigers and the Arizona Diamondbacks. He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up, Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said, The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time, and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004, he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later.
From a Yankee fan point of view,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Lincecum believe this is a good move. While it is aggressive to see Austin Jackson go a player Lincecum was very excited to see in Major League action, Granderson is an exceptional player,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and more importantly, a professional. Ronald Martinez His repertoire includes a two seam fastball that he throws at 93 mph,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a changeup he grips like a splitter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a curveball notable for its sharp breaking action,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a slider and a four seam fastball that reaches speeds in the mid nineties.
Two days into the general administerr winter meetings in Indianapolis, the Yankees have furiouse their first big move of the offseason.
