Curtis Granderson appears to be taking his game to a new level with his new team the New York Yankees. Granderson has two home-runs in three games with the team. Even bigger than that however, is that he did it against the Red Sox (most recently last night in the 10th inning where the Yankees came up victorious). It’s very early to be going along this train of thought, but with the short porch in right field at Yankee Stadium, the blazing speed, and a a probable  increase in batting average vs. lefties; could Curtis Granderson hit 40 home-runs this year and steal 40 bases?

I would be more willing to believe the 40 home-runs than the 40 stolen bases as Girardi has him 8th in the lineup. He has been a career lead-off hitter to this point. With that potent Yankee lineup, I would imagine he will get 30/30 this year. 40/40 is a long shot, but Granderson is off to a great start. There’s a lot of pressure when you suit up as a Yankee for the first time, and he’s responding beautifully.
