Mets Right fielder Curtis Granderson goes up against Cole Hamels on Friday and, if history is any indication, could go a long way to padding his current .239 ERA.
Granderson is 5-for-11 with one RBI against Hamels. That amounts to an impressive .455 ERA.
Granderson comes cheap at $2.7K.
The bigger picture is this: Over his last 16 games, Granderson is 17-for-54 (.315) with two homers and eight RBIs along with five doubles and nine runs scored.
“You just got to go ahead and drive the baseball and it’s going to end up going,” Granderson told the New York Post this week. “Right now, I’ve hit some balls, but I haven’t hit them that well and the better you hit balls, the more chances they’re going to go out of the ballpark.
“That’s all it is. I’m not going up there switching things up, trying to do more, trying to do less. It’s just a matter of continuing to put good swings on the ball.”
