Granderson made history last night by becoming the first person to ever hit three home runs at the new Yankee Stadium. He received a curtain call from the Yankee faithful after his third bomb of the night.

The Grandyman Can!
Yankee's outfielder Curtis Granderson hit three home runs in the first four innings of last night's game against the Minnesota Twins. He eventually hit two more singles in his next two at bats and went 5 - 5 on the night. Granderson used to be the center fielder of the Detroit Tigers and imagine what that line up would be if he were at the top leading off. Austin Jackson was sent there in the trade to get Granderson to the Yankee's in the first place and I know that Jackson is a very good outfielder, but Granderson is simply better. Not by a lot, but enough to make their line up even more potent.

The Top 10
The list of the top 10 players in the league has been release, according to ESPN. This list is composed of five pitchers and five batters. There are two Detroit Tigers in the top four (Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander). The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim picked up the number one player in the league today in this past free agency, Albert Pujols.
Pujols is very consistant and is very rarely injured. The guy hits the ball with great power, but he also hits for a very high average. That is what separates him from a player like Ryan Howard. Howard hits just as many, if not more, home runs that Pujols. The strike out totals and terrible batting average is what holds the Phillies first basemen back.
Clayton Kershaw is ranked at number seven and has the potential to rise to the top spot. When he first came in to the league, he immediately drew comparisons to the great Sandy Koufax. His curveball is devastating and his numbers from this past season are remarkable. Its no wonder why he has won his first Cy Young at the age of 23.
I believe Robinson Cano should be ranked a little higher than 10. The guy hits for average, power, drives in runs, and is very good defensively. He is the best second baseman in the game today.
