Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"The thing that I've constantly tried to work on is realizing that I only bat in that spot once a game, and that's to begin the game. After that, the situations begin to dictate themselves. Understanding that, I just go, 'OK, I don't have to go up there and take because I'm the leadoff guy. I don't have to go up there and hit a home run because I'm the three-guy.' If there's runners on base, I've got to get them in. If there's not, I've got to get on base." - Granderson, Curtis. Granderson eyes improvement after big '11. Berry, Adam.
