Frankly, I dont care where he goes. He still had that silly smirk on his face after that last horrible at bat he had last night.

Isn't Granderson a FA? It's proabably no-chance, but I wish we could get him. :to:

Shiiitttt for Moreland, Ogando and/or a low level hitting prospect he's all yours

actually besides the dodgers who already have 3 high priced outfielders none of those teams seem likely to spend big money for him

It could be Detroit or an off-the-radar team like the Chicago White Sox or even San Francisco

All five of those teams need offense and there's not gonna be a better bat on the free agent market for a while. With his history, I don't see anyone giving him more than five years on a contract. It's a risk no matter what with him, but I've seen far worse get outrageous contracts (I.E. Jayson Werth to the Nats, who you say won't spend big money and they just gave Zimmerman a ridiculous deal too).

The Reds would be a bit of a stretch, but they don't have an enormous payroll and if he's added to that already stacked lineup, plus pitching staff, they could be really dominant.

well any team could use his offense its just what team is gonna be willing to give him the money considering all his history of injuries and problems

the usual big spenders all seem to be out of the running this year

i think the nats are good with Morse, Werth and Harper in the outfield

the two teams with money to burn right now are the Cubs and Red soxs but both are in a rebuilding process

Seattle could be a dark horse and they are gonna move in there fences

They never thought Detroit would sign Prince either. Don't count anybody out.

If he leaves, all of the Rangers will be more motivated to go deep into the playoffs and reach the World Series again.

the Rangers should let Hamilton go...I've always like Leonys Martin...I think he could be a really solid regular...and they could use the saved money to help bolster their rotation (although I haven't looked hard at the free agency class so I don't know what arms are available)
