Curtis Granderson

Another tour through the National League East could be in store for Curtis Granderson, who is still swinging a decent bat at 37-years-old.

While hitting just .245 Granderson has nine home runs and a .5 WAR, all of which would be an improvement over Aaron Altherr as the fourth outfielder. That’s what Granderson is at this point in his career, and the Phillies wouldn’t have a long-term commitment to him as he finishes up a one-year deal with Toronto.

Granderson has success playing in Citizens Bank Park as well with nine home runs in 44 career games with 50 hits and a .294 batting average.
