Doug, one thing to keep in mind is that Granderson's numbers should not be compared to other players on his team. It is in comparison to other center fielders. Most teams have very good defensive center fielders so the competition is tougher.

For me as a casual fan, lousy fielding can be a bit more troubling than lousy hitting or lousy pitching because I think that lousy fielders have a congenital condition that is incurable. At least with hitting and pitching there can be the illusion created that a change in the coaching staff will somehow change a player's approach and bring out that untapped potential.
