Is Grady Sizemore as good as everyone says he is?

Answer 1

Yep...he's a 30-30 guy...I don't think he can hit more than 30 Hrs since he's a leadoff guy but I definitely see him stealing more than 50 bases.

He hits for average. Has good power goin all over the field but not great power like other speedy guys like Beltran or Crawford or Abreu or Soriano.

I think he's a better hitter than those guys, speed wise is on the same level but doesn't quite have the power to match up with those guys.

Answer 2

At this point there are two things holding him back:

1) He isn't a true leadoff hitter but he is currently the best player the Indians have for the leadoff position.

2) He has a bad time hitting LHP.

The Indians have a prospect named Trevor Crowe who is scheduled to take over the leadoff spot sometime in the next year. If he arrives as scheduled and Sizemore drops to a run producing spot (ie hitting 3rd) you will see how good of a player Grady really is.

And if Sizemore can learn to hit LHP then the sky litterally is his limit.

Answer 3

Well it depends from what perspective you come from and what people you ask. Here's the whole thing about asking questions like this... you are going to get Tribe fans talking on and on how good he is and he is way better than Carl Crawford and that he will be better than Alfonso Soriano and Vald Guerrero. Then you have going to get people like me who will you give you what the experts think about him and yes, he is good but, give him some time and he will be the next Vlad. He is only 24 a guy like him is going to produce some great numbers in his late 20s.

"Sizemore last season became the second major leaguer to ever record 50 doubles, 10 triples, 20 homers and 20 steals in a season. He lead the AL in runs and extra-base hits." -SportingNews

Answer 4

He has the pontenial to be the best player in baseball.He's stolen 20+ bases the past 2 years and tha Indians intend to run more this year so expect 30 or 40 there.He has hit 290 the past 2 seasons and expect that to go up as he gets older.He hit 53 doubles last year and as he gets stronger some of them will turn into home runs.He is also a very good fielder with lots of range.

Answer 5

He definetly is good, he's so well rounded he's a straight up 5 tool player, contact, power, speed, throwing, and fielding...and the fact that he's a leadoff means all he has to do is focus on getting on base, homeruns will just come naturally, once he gets on base he'll probably move himself over, and that way any hit into the outfield has a good chance of him scoring!!! not only is he that good, I think he'll get better if he gets bigger, and he takes care of himself better then anyone i know, so hes durable, and is gonna be playing a long time!!! I wouldn't expect him to win any mvp awards unless cleveland pulls an amasing season out of there ***, and credits him, he's not exactly league leading material, but as far as well rounded he's above average in every category!

Answer 6

.300+ hitter, 30 stolen base, 30 home run, 70+ rbi guy. Excellent leather, can throw. Grady Sizemore is a TOP QUALITY, everyday baseball player...

Answer 7

I believe he is. Sizemore's 25 years old, has good plate discipline, can hit for power (which takes time to develop, and he's got plenty), and is solid defensively. He's definitely a guy who can only get better.

Answer 8

Yes he is. He is as close to a 5 tool player to come up in the last 5 years. His only weakness is an average arm.

Answer 9

He's better than anyone says he is. Pick him up in your fantasy league asap!

Answer 10

YES
