Granderson to The Mets

By Leave a Comment

Queens Bound Curtis

mlbf_31254379_th_13NEW YORK — The Mets and free-agent outfielder Curtis Granderson have agreed to a four-year contract, according to the New York Post. The Mets have not confirmed the deal.

Granderson, 32, hit .229 with seven homers last season in a campaign largely decimated by injuries. A fractured right forearm and fractured left pinkie, each the product of hit-by-pitches, limited Granderson to 61 games.

Prior to that, he had spent two seasons as one of the league’s most prodigious power hitters, averaging 152 games played per year. Thanks in part to Yankee Stadium’s short right-field porch, Granderson hit 84 home runs from 2011-12, increasing his annual average to 29 homers since becoming a full-time starter with the Tigers in 2005. Along the way, he developed a reputation as a positive clubhouse presence and leader.

Granderson is a career .261 hitter with extreme platoon splits: a .274/.357/.519 slash line against right-handed pitching, but just .226/.295/.409 against lefties. Once a dangerous basestealer, who swiped a career-high 26 bags in 27 tries in 2007, Granderson has stolen a combined 18 bases over the past two seasons.

Those trends, along with Granderson’s age and Citi Field’s dimensions, make a multiyear deal a risk. But with multiple sizeable contracts no longer bogging down their payroll, the Mets are committed to making a splash after mostly standing pat for three straight winters.

“It’s great to say we have financial flexibility and then blow it on players’ deals that don’t work out, and put yourself right back in the same situation you were before,” Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said earlier this offseason. “At the same time, at some point you’ve got to go for it. Having flexibility is great, but at some point you’ve got to put yourself on the line.”

The Mets are certainly doing so with Granderson, whose deal should be the richest Alderson has doled out over four winters as GM. Alderson’s previous most expensive deal was the two-year, $12 million pact that reliever Frank Francisco signed two winters ago. In terms of average annual value, Chris Young’s recent one-year, $7.25 million deal was the richest. (Those figures do not count third baseman David Wright’s eight-year, $138 million deal, which Wright signed while still under contract with the Mets.)

Beyond Granderson’s production, the deal should free the Mets to be flexible in their continued Hot Stove pursuits. Granderson’s power left-handed bat makes first basemen Ike Davis and Lucas Duda even more dispensable in potential trades for a shortstop or pitcher. With Eric Young Jr. defaulting back to a bench role, the Mets could also shift Young to his natural position of second base and deal Daniel Murphy.

The Mets remain in need of at least one starting pitcher and a veteran reliever, and ideally would like to upgrade their shortstop position as well.

The 5 Best & Worst Places to Raise Your Children

Sorry New York. I’ll Take New Jersey ANY DAY

kids-playgrounds1It’s not secret that I’m an avid supporter of my home state. Why wouldn’t I be? Sure, I do a ton of my business in New York City; I’m in the city 1-5 days a week.
I bounce around between clubs, fundraisers, fashion events, retail or corporate gigs. When Fashion Week, shows or big events comes, forget about it my car sleeps in a parking deck. I grew up a suburban kid, and I’ll probably want to raise my family the same way: close enough to New York where they can enjoy it for what it has to offer, but far enough that we can enjoy PEACE and QUIET. New York It is a cultural mecca and there’s no doubt about it. But, I never understood the snootiness and attitude that I got whenever someone asked me where I was from and I said: “Jersey.” It’s like we don’t classify you and say “oh you’re from NY so you must be an asshole.” So step back with your attitude and check yourselves because New York is NOT the #1 place to raise children…. New Jersey Is.

Released by the Foundation for Child Development, the annual Child Well Being Index (CWI) is a state-by-state comparison of quality of life for kids.
The report weighs 28 indicators in seven categories, from family economic well-being and health to emotional/spiritual well-being.
New Jersey Ranked Number ONE in the Country!

That’s right… New Jersey. The state people LOVE to HATE.
The state famous for our shore. We don’t have a Vegas, but we have AC.
We don’t have a Freedom Tower, but we have Hoboken and downtown Jersey City. New Jersey had JAMBA JUICE and Whole Foods before New Yorkers knew who or what those chains were.
We may not have Gross Point or Bel Air (wait… yes we do… my home town of LIVINGSTON NEW JERSEY has Bel Air and shouts to my new townie Ivanka Trump). and we have a ton of other GREAT
places to live and raise kids that are low on crime and have incredible Blue Ribbon School Systems.
New Jersey has 5 of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the WORLD to play at… including the #1 Golf Course in the World: Pine Valley.
We have one of the best State Colleges to go to: Rutgers University and although our taxes need a little work… it’s all worth it when you consider our college tuition and the education that one can receive in our public school system.

New Jersey…. I love You.

You can read the entire Child Well Being Index for all the details, but here are some of the highlights: Overall, the report found that higher levels of child well-being are directly related to tax rates and the amount of money available for social and education programs. Quelle shock. The South and Southwest on the whole did the worst, while the East Coast and upper Midwest dominated the top 10. The West Coast didn’t score so fabulously either — my beloved home state of California only ranked at number 30. The five states with the BEST child well-being scores are …

1. New Jersey
2. Massachusetts
3. New Hampshire
4. Utah
5. Connecticut

NFL Fines Tomlin 100K + Possible Draft Pick

By Leave a Comment

Trip-Gate Fine

Tomlin– via CBS Sports –
The NFL has fined Steelers coach Mike Tomlin $100,000 for interfering in Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones’ kickoff return last Thursday, and according to a league release, “in addition, because the conduct affected a play on the field, a modification or forfeiture of draft choices will be considered after the final order of the 2014 draft has been determined.”

Basically, as expected, the NFL has come down hard on Tomlin, though the league also decided a suspension wasn’t in order.

A day after the league’s vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said Tomlin should have been flagged on the play, this discipline was issued by Ray Anderson, the NFL’s executive vice president of football operations.
