I wasn't a member of here yet but at the old ESPN boards that I frequented before this Sizemore vs. Granderson was a major debate between Tigers and Indians fans.

And Sizemorecwas ALWAYS hurt. Crashing into walls and stuff...Granderson was a much better player.

Sizemore was better at their respective peaks. Granderson  aged a lot better.

Yeah he was but at the time in 06-08 us posters there weren't saber savvy to say the least, I remember the arguments almost always being based off of basic stats, even defensive stats were things like fielding percentage and "range factor". I remember the one knock on Granderson from everybody was that he couldn't hit left handed pitching though.

Granderson K’d a lot initially too, i remember him getting a lot of flack for that.  Back in the era where a 20% K rate was considered a lot…
