If The Tigers didn't already have Granderson, I'd want Grady Sizemore on my team!
Seriously, how can ANYONE not like Grady?

1. 5 tool player 2. Will be a candidate for the for the 40-40 club. 3. Gives it all he has no matter what the situation 4. In 2006 was the 2nd player ever(first since 1937)to get 25+ homers, 20+ steals, 50+ doubles, and 10 triple in a season. 5. When Eric Wedge was asked the other day if he though Sizemore had hit the ceiling he said " Not even close". So Of Wedge is right how good is he going to be? he's already arguably the best in the league.

Sizemore is a all around great player, and he's olny twenty five!
Sizemore is a very exciting player, he can do it all he can hit for average, hit homeruns, and has great speed.
Its a wonder why the Expos gave up on him (He was a 3rd Round Draft Pick for the Expos) on such a great player like Sizemore. Even if hes not on you're team he's fun to watch and he will be a great additon to anyones fantasy baseball team.
So, yeah, how can you not like Grady Sizemore? Without Sizemore, the Indians wouldnt even be in the A.L. Central race.
P.S. Sizemore was on the cover of a recent S.I. magizine to show his popularity has skyrocketed.

For me Grady Sizemore represents everything that is good about baseball. He is a solid five tool player who plays the game hard and goes out on the field to beat you any way he can. The fans in Cleveland are the benefactors and every other fan that loves baseball has to put Grady high on the list of players they would like to have on their favorite team.

Runs scored is NOT as passive a stat as people think. Rickey Henderson scored no matter who he played for. Sizemore's greatest talent -- and what a lead-off hitter is supposed to do -- is to get around and score. He's terrific. It's hard to figure how people think he's not so great. And by the way, watch that average go up as the season gets hot.

the only way you can't like him is if you know nothing about baseball. i have a relative from washington over and he says he wishes they had sizemore and hafner on the mariners. i love making him jealous by having great players on the indians. of course, he does have ichiro, but ichiro cant be that good forever. sizemore will surpass ichiro in the amazing plays category soon.

Because he's not as good as people think he is.
He doesn't hit a good batting average. It's about average, and for a leadoff hitter, you need should be hitting around .300.
He has oaky power for a leadoff hitter, but getting on base more often is more important than jacking one out every know and then.
Sure he gets a lot of runs, but does that really make him the greatest? No, it just says that Victor Martinez can knock him in a lot, mainly the rest of the team is bringing him in.
People think he's one of the best players of the generation, which he isn't, well at least not yet in his career. Some people even think he's better than A-Rod (which Red4Tribe did.)
He's a god player, not terrible. It just is annoying how people are saying he's the greatest player of all time just a few years into his career. He's a good all around player, he gets a little bit of everything, good for fantasy, but it doesn't make him the best there is.
So I hope that answers you're question.

Good Question. We love him here in Cleveland. He fast and has some power. He is clutch too. He can cover so much ground in the outfield. He never comes into the dugout after a game without a stain on his jersey. Hes a great guy. Period.

He reminds me of Tom Sizemore, honestly.
Not in looks in anyway, just hearing "Sizemore at centerfield..."

I'd love to have him on the Cards. 68 runs 14 bombs AND 23 steals...yeah, I'd take that.
