These Reactions To The Granderson Signing Were Good

The Blue Jays signed Curtis Granderson! It was a right and good thing for a team like the Blue Jays to do, not without a little risk, but making sense for several reasons, as I wrote last night. But oh my, the reactions! So many of the reactions — they were bad. Awful, hissing, garbage reactions!

Now, that’s not to say that the deal is perfect or anybody has to love it or that we all must think the same way about it, but from “dumpster dive”-hating goofs to pipe dreaming weirdos to roster space lovers who can’t count to batting average and RBI luddites to those who mistake their ability to think of something negative to say for wit to obtuse-posturing tantrum lovers to those dumb enough to think age should be a disqualifying factor for a player signing a one-year contract to any and all manner of pissers and moaners, the deal was rejected by an impressively broad coalition of the useless. Those are the reactions I’m talking about here. Their reactions were bad.

These reactions, on the other hand, were good:

LOOKIN’ GOOD, GRANDY!

No, but seriously, it’s a nice pickup.
