Mets’ Curtis Granderson has been their MVP
When the New York Mets signed Curtis Granderson to a four-year $60 million contract during the 2013 Winter Meetings, many criticized the organization for giving money to a recently injured outfielder that was on the verge of decline.
In his first season with the Mets, Granderson hit an underwhelming .227/.236/.388 to go along with 20 home runs, 66 RBI, and 79 walks in 155 games.
Not only did he struggle at the plate, but he was a detriment defensively, racking up an unimpressive -1.2 dWAR.
Before the 2014 season was over, some fans turned on him, calling him another “Jason Bay.”
