$30.25 million for 5 years.
Who's Curtis Granderson?
The man who last year hit 23 triples, 38 doubles, 23 home runs and 26 stolen bases in one season. The only other player EVER to do this was Willy Mays in 1957.
Granderson also hit .302 in 2007 as a switch-hitter, not so bad an achievement by itself.
This makes the Tigers starting lineup for next year look very, very dangerous as it's .300 (or near .300) hitters top to bottom;
C Pudge Rodriguez (.303)
1B Carlos Guillen (.290)
2B Placido Polanco (.305)
SS Edgar Renteria (.291)
3B Miguel Cabrera (.313)
LF Jacque Jones (.280)
CF Curtis Granderson (.302)
RF Magglio Ordonez (.312)
DH Gary Sheffield (.296)
Team batting average: .29911....
