Agreed. Granderson is a favorite of mine. And I watched Maggs play two seasons of AAA ball here in Nashville before he came up with the White Sox.
Guys like Granderson don’t get the respect they really deserve because they don’t play for one of the two “important” east coast teams. Hank Aaron is the most common comparison made with Granderson. I also like Grady Sizemore with Cleveland.
Placido Polanco is another great utility player who quietly toils away with the Tigers. As a short stop he holds the all time record of most consecutive plays without an error. (over 800) He’s second base now.
