I was one of the few who liked it. I was one of the few who said the Tigers made out. I'm talking about the Tigers trading fan favorite Curtis Granderson for Austin Jackson and Phil Coke.
Yes, it's only been one game, but my point is the new guy in centerfield can play. I mean really play. The yankees shunned many trades over the years that would have had to include Jackson as part of the package, and its obvious why.
Granderson was a fan favorite here in Detroit, and a very solid centerfielder, but I have a good feeling that Jackson is going to do well. Very well.
And the other new guy also happened to get a key hit. Johnny Damon went 2 for 5, but had a key go-ahead double in the 7th to put the Tigers up for good.
1-0....Only 161 games to go!!!
