I totally agree.. Some of the stuff that Ive seen of jackson the kid looks like he has the tools to play the game and more importantly the head to play in The Big Apple.... Granderson strikes out alot and more importantly cannot hit against lefties... This move obviously means that we are not getting in on Halladay now as jackson and kennedy were going to probably be two pieces in a trade for DOC.... Come on man... Curtis Granderson?!Curtis Granderson is a Yankee.. terribly overrated and horrible.
We gave up a good buddy of mine, Austin Jackson.. The best prospect in the AL East I don't care what anyway say.
BRIAN CASHMEN, IDIOT MOVE

1. we don't need Doc
2. AJax degressed with his power last year
3. Granderson is 28
4. AJax would be lucky to become a Curtis Granderson like player.
How the **** did Austin Jackson's power Degress? He's 22 years old dude... Try again..1. we don't need Doc
2. AJax degressed with his power last year
3. Granderson is 28
4. AJax would be lucky to become a Curtis Granderson like player.
This move fills a need we have not had in a while....a fast power hitting Damon type of outfielder who actually has an arm!Curtis Granderson is a Yankee.. terribly overrated and horrible.

Granderson hit 30 homeruns and he played in one of the biggest ballparks in Major league baseball.
Granderson can hit 40 homeruns in Yankee stadium and steal as many bases....this was a good move.
His salary, i beleive, is at 3 years 25 mil. He is worth it. I did not want to see Austin Jackson traded but that is the beuty with having a deep minor league system, you can use them as trade bait.
Not every prospect turns out being great, even Yankee ones.
We don't need Damon or Matusi anymore with Granderson on the team.
Curtis can bat 2nd and is faster than Damon and will put up bigger power numbers, only problem is Granderson has to improve his contact.
WE gave up Phil Coke, who is good but always gives up a long ball...Ian Kennedy who might be good one day but failed to be all the hype he was suppose to be....and Austin Jackson was the best trade bait we had.
If Damon comes back then he is batting 2nd and Granderson will probably bat 6th or 7th.Granderson is a heck of a ball player...hitting in this lineup in Yankee stadium, he has potential to put up MONSTER numbers. Plus he's a great fielder. We know what we get with Granderson, Austin Jackson is a lottery ticket...could be great, could be nothing.
By the end of the year, I guarantee we will all be praising Granderson's name, teams will have to pitch to him...
My question is, does he hit #2? What if they bring back Damon? If they do I see it like this:
1 - Derek Jeter, SS
2 - Curtis Granderson, CF
3 - Mark Teixeira, 1B
4 - Alex Rodriguez, 3B
5- Jorge Posada, C
6 - Johnny Damon, DH
7 - Robinson Cano, 2B
8 - Nick Swisher, RF
9 - Melky Cabrera, LF
I don't like moving Damon down that far, but I don't know how else we would get it done. Someone else suggested:
1- Jeter
2 - Damon
3 - Teix
4- A-Rod
5/6- Posada/Granderson (depending on who is hotter at the time)
Personally I'd like Granderson's speed on the bases early in the lineup...
