December 20, 2008 Grady Sizemore has accepted an invitation to represent Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Indians' GM Mark Shapiro said, "As a general manager, you're always concerned when your player isn't playing for you, but this is good for the game and it's an honor for Grady." Our View:It is no surprise that Sizemore was invited as he is one of the brightest young American stars in the majors, and joined the 30/30 club for the first time in 2008 with 33 homers and 38 stolen bases. |
|
November 13, 2008 Grady Sizemore won his first career Silver Slugger on Thursday, according to the Associated Press. Our View:Sizemore's average dropped below .270 for the first time in his career in a full season, but he also reached 30 home runs for the first time. There aren't many players that can give you 30+ homers and 30+ stolen bases in a year, but Sizemore did just that in 2008. |
|
September 22, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 0-for-5 on Monday night to run his mark to 0-for-9 over the past two nights. Our View:Sizemore had a 9-game hitting streak during which time he produced 18 hits just before this 0-for streak. He has already set career-highs in home runs (33), RBI (89) and SB (38), so forgive us if we aren't too concerned by this two night slump. |
|
September 21, 2008 Grady Sizemore struck out four times in four at-bats on Sunday, meaning he accomplished the feat that earns him the golden sombrero. Our View:Not a good day for Sizemore, who has otherwise been excellent this season. If he could ever cut down on his strikeouts, his numbers may improve even further. |
|
September 18, 2008 Grady Sizemore set a franchise record with Cleveland as the first player to register at least 30 doubles (registered 36), 30 homers (32), and 30 steals (38) in a season, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Our View:Sizemore joined the 30/30 club for the first time in his career, and is 12 RBI from reaching 100 for the first time as well. He also registered multiple hits in six of his last seven games. |
|
September 15, 2008 For the fifth straight game Grady Sizemore has had multiple hits. In the Indians 3-1 win over the Twins, Sizemore was 2-for-4 and also added his 38th stolen base. Our View:Sizemore has raised his average nine points to .271 from .269 in the last five days. |
|
September 13, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Royals. He hit a single and a double, his 35th of the season. Our View:Sizemore looks to be past his hitting slump, as he registered five hits over his last two games, with three doubles. |
|
September 12, 2008 Grady Sizemore broke out of his slump as he hit two doubles and finished 3-for-5 against the Royals on Friday night. He added two RBI and two runs scored. Our View:Sizemore had not had a hit in 26 at bats. His average currently stands at .265, and would be his lowest average since 2005 if he were to finish the season at that mark. |
|
September 10, 2008 It was a rough night for Grady Sizemore, he was 0-for-4 against the Orioles and is in the midst of a 0-for-19 skid. Our View:Sizemore is only three stolen bases and nine home runs away from a 40-40 season. It might be tough for Sizemore to get the nine homers, but who will really be complaining since he has already gone 30/30? |
|
August 30, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners. Both of his hits were doubles. Our View:Sizemore has two hits in back-to-back games against Seattle, with three doubles. The finale of the series is set for Sunday. |
|
August 29, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 2-for-4 in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners at Progressive Field. He hit a single and a double, and also notched a stolen base, his 35th of the season. Our View:Sizemore should remain a solid source of speed and power down the stretch for fantasy owners. |
|
August 25, 2008 Grady Sizemore became a member of the 30-30 club (home runs and stolen bases) for the first time in his career when he hit a leadoff homer in the Indians game against the Tigers, according to MLB.com. Our View:Sizemore has provided power and speed for fantasy owners for a number of years, but this is the first time he accomplished this feat. He has a very outside chance of getting to 40-40, but he'll need six stolen bases and nine home runs to get there. He had hit nine home runs during June of this year, so it's not unprecedented for him to accomplish the feat. |
|
August 24, 2008 It was a difficult evening for Indians outfielder Grady Sizemore. He batted four times and struck out in three of those at-bats, though Cleveland managed to beat the Rangers 4-3. Our View:Sizemore has been very good for fantasy owners, and with one more home run will be a 30/30 man. His only obvious flaw is his tendency to strike out, as he now has over 100 on the season. |
|
August 23, 2008 Grady Sizemore will remain in the leadoff spot despite hitting 29 home runs, according to the Akron Beacon-Journal. Manager Eric Wedge was asked if he would move him to the middle of the lineup and he answered, "The only way I would consider doing something like that is if I had somebody very strong to put at the leadoff spot. Unless you had another leadoff hitter get on ahead of him, you probably would lose production." Our View:Sizemore would generate more RBI from a lower spot in the lineup, but he has been productive with 79 this season, and he would potentially score less runs and get the green light to steal less often from leaving the leadoff spot. |
|
August 21, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 4-for-5 with seven RBI in Thursday's 10-3 win over the Royals. He hit a triple, a three-run homer, and two singles, and also added a stolen base. Our View:Sizemore reaches a new season-high with 29 homers, and is on the verge of joining the 30/30 club for the first time in his career (he has 31 stolen bases). |
|
August 19, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 2-for-5 with a homer, two runs, and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Royals. It was his first homer of August (16 games). Our View:Grady has tied his career high with 28 homers this season, so we can hardly complain about his recent drought. With two more long balls, Sizemore will become a first-time member of the 30-30 club. He remains a fantasy star, even though his runs are down due to a lack of support. |
|
August 9, 2008 Grady Sizemore had a difficult day against Toronto pitcher Roy Halladay, and wound up going 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Cleveland's 4-2 win. Our View:August has been a horror for Sizemore. After today's failings, he is 2-for-26 on the month, good for an unseemly .077 batting average. |
|
August 6, 2008 Grady Sizemore is getting a day off on Wednesday against the Rays. Franklin Gutierrez will move to center and bat leadoff, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Our View:It's a rare day on the pine for Sizemore, who played all 162 games in both 2006 and 2007. He is not hurt, as far as we know. |
|
July 31, 2008 Cleveland outfielder Grady Sizemore hit his 26th homer of the season in the 14-12 loss over 13 innings to Detroit this evening. Sizemore went 2-for-7 overall with one walk and three RBIs with one run scored on the night. Our View:Grady is hitting an impressive .337 for the month of July with seven homers, 14 RBIs, and 19 runs scored over that span. |
|
July 28, 2008 Grady Sizemore was 2-for-3 with a stolen base, a walk and a run scored on Monday against the Tigers. It was his 26th steal of the season. Our View:Its good to see a little aggressiveness on the bags from Grady who has stolen two bags in two nights. It was his fourth steal in 10 games since the break. He has only been caught three times all season. If the trend continues his value increases going forward. He is hitting .329 in July. |
|
July 27, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 2-for-3 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Twins. He also notched a stolen base. Our View:Sizemore extended his hitting streak to seven games, with three multi-hit efforts over the span. He now has 25 homers and 25 stolen bases for the season. |
|
July 26, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 1-for-5 and struck out three times in the Indians 11-4 loss to Minnesota on Friday. He did extend his hitting streak to a modest six games, however. Our View:Sizemore has now hit in 12 of his last 13 games, and possesses that rarest of combinations which makes fantasy owners smile: power and speed. |
|
July 23, 2008 The Indians failed to make good on solid hitting, falling 3-2 to the Angels this evening. Outfielder Grady Sizemore was once again a factor, hitting his 24th homer of the season to go 1-for-4 at the plate with one RBI and one run scored. Sizemore did face closer Francisco Rodriguez in the top of the 9th with two outs (no one on) with a chance to tie it up, but instead found a walk. Our View:Sizemore has work to do to match the nine homers for 16 RBIs he enjoyed in June, touting five homers for 10 RBIs thus far in July. However, his average is up from .281 in June to .328 in July. |
|
July 9, 2008 Grady Sizemore hit two RBI singles in the second and fourth innings and finished the 10th straight loss by the Indians 3-for-5. Our View:Sizemore has hit for power this year, but recently, he has raised his batting average as well. The center fielder is now hitting .272 on the season. |
|
July 8, 2008 Grady Sizemore will become the first Cleveland Indian to participate in the State Farm Home Run Derby since 1998 when Jim Thome performed. Our View:Sizemore leads the AL in home runs with 22. |
|
July 5, 2008 Grady Sizemore had two more hits on Saturday night, one of them being his 22nd home run of the year for the Indians in their 9-6 loss to the Twins. Our View:Did you realize that the 22 home runs Sizemore has hit lead the AL? If only those hitting behind him would pick up the slack and start knocking him in once in a while, we would be talking about a top-10 fantasy season for this offensive force. |
|
July 2, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the White Sox. Two of his hits went for solo homers. He also stole a base and scored four runs in the game, which took 10 innings to decide. Our View:He has 21 homers for the season, with four coming over his last seven games. His stolen base was also his 20th, and he is on pace for his first career 30/30 campaign. |
|
June 29, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Reds. He also chipped in a stolen base. Our View:He has 19 homers and 19 stolen bases over 79 games. He looks to be headed for his first career 30-30 season. |
|
June 27, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Friday's 6-0 win over the Reds. He hit a solo homer and a double. Our View:He has 18 home runs, but that was his first since June 15. |
|
June 15, 2008 Grady Sizemore hit his 17th home run of the season helping the Indians to a 7-3 win over the Padres on Sunday afternoon. Our View:The home run was Sizemore's third in the three-game series against the Padres. The Indians' center field now has 40 RBI and 44 runs scored on the season. However, the home run was his only hit and lowered his average to .265. |
|
June 11, 2008 The Indians suffered the 8-5 loss to Minnesota this evening despite a strong effort from outfielder Grady Sizemore . Sizemore went 2-for-5 at the plate with his 14th double of the season as well as his 13th home run, good for three RBIs on the night. Our View:Sizemore struggled through rough times in May, hitting just .221 on the month despite hitting seven home runs and 16 RBIs along the way. This month he has the power and run production working again and his work at the plate is improved as well, hitting .306 on the month thus far. |
|
June 1, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run but it wasn't enough as the Indians dropped their second straight game, 6-1, to Kansas City. Sizemore homered with one out in the eighth to spoil Brian Bannister's shutout attempt. Our View:The Indians center fielder is heating up. The long ball was Sizemore's third home run in three days. |
|
May 30, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 2-for-4 with three RBI and registered two homers in Friday's 5-4 win over the Royals. Our View:That was the second time he hit two homers in a game this season, and he now has seven home runs in May. |
|
May 28, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 1-for-3 with a single, two walks, a run, and a stolen base on Wednesday. He has swiped four bags over the last five games. Our View:Sizemore is having a tough month at the plate, but it's nice to see that he's trying to make up for those struggles by stealing bases. |
|
May 14, 2008 Grady Sizemore was half of the Cleveland offense as C.C. Sabathia shutout the Oakland Athletics 2-0 on Wednesday night. The Cleveland center fielder hit a solo home run that gave the Indians a 1-0 lead, all they would need with last year's Cy Young winner on the mound. Our View:Sizemore has 24 runs, 21 RBI, seven home runs, seven stolen bases and is hitting .274 on the season. Sizemore has three leadoff home runs this season and 14 in his career, the second-most in franchise history behind Kenny Lofton's 18 |
|
May 10, 2008 The Cleveland Indians smacked the Toronto Blue Jays around the yard today, winning 12-0. CF Grady Sizemore was (as usual) a weapon of choice, going 3-for-5 with a double (his sixth this year) and two home runs (six total on the year) to ring up five RBIs and three runs scored on the evening. Our View:Sizemore started the season well but hit a bit of slide in late April. However, he has gone 12-for-36 since April 29 with three home runs. |
|
April 30, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI on Wednesday night for the Tribe. Our View:Sizemore has returned from his sprained ankle with a vengeance going f-for-7 with four runs scored in two games. Hopefully you left him in your lineup this week as he is finally starting to round into form after a slow start. |
|
April 29, 2008 Grady Sizemore, who is nursing a sprained right ankle, was held out of Monday's game due to wet and cold field conditions at Progressive Field, according to MLB.com. He was available as a pinch-hitter if needed. Sizemore said, "It's a lot better than Sunday (referring to his ankle). In a different situation, I could be in there playing. It's so early in the year. There's no point in making it worse than it could be when I could be 100 percent on Tuesday." Our View:Sizemore hopes to return tonight, but the team will be cautious if the weather is unfavorable again. He had seven stolen bases before getting hurt, but may want to ease off of running much when he initially comes back to action. He could still make an impact with his bat, however. |
|
April 28, 2008 Manager Eric Wedge has held Grady Sizemore (ankle) out of the starting lineup for the second straight game. Wedge was hoping to get his center fielder back for the Monday night finale of the four-game series against the Yankees, but Franklin Gutierrez is starting and hitting eighth against starter Mike Mussina. Our View:The weather is chilly, 50 degrees at first pitch, and rain will threaten throughout the game. Sizemore will be available to pinch hit. |
|
April 28, 2008 Manager Eric Wedge said on Sunday that Grady Sizemore will not be placed on the DL due to his sprained ankle, according to IndiansConfidential.com. Wedge said that he’s hoping Grady will be back tonight for the series finale against the Yankees, and that a day of rest and rehab will do the ankle good. It is 50 degrees and could rain throughout the day in Cleveland, so Sizemore may want to sit out another day to risk further injury. Our View:Sizemore had his 382 consecutive games streak snapped due to the injury, but it sounds like he will be OK. Franklin Gutierrez covered his post in center field, and would make another start if Sizemore is to sit out tonight. |
|
April 27, 2008 Cleveland CF Grady Sizemore , nursing an injured ankle in Saturday's win over the New York Yankees, will be out of the starting lineup today, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Our View:Sizemore owns the largest active consecutive games played streak in the majors, taking part in 382 consecutive games. As a result of the injury, David Dellucci will bat leadoff for the Indians and play in left field while Franklin Gutierrez bats eighth and covers the role in center. |
|
April 24, 2008 Grady Sizemore went 4-for-5 with a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in the Indians Game 1 victory over the Royals on a day when the two teams are playing a double header. Our View:Sizemore pushed his average up to .289 with this effort, and though he has six steals in the early going, he still has scored only 10 runs in 21 games, a terrible total for a guy who has scored at least 118 runs in each of the past two seasons. |
|
April 13, 2008 Grady Sizemore continues to build his status as a top MLB player, helping the Indians to a big 1-7 win over the Oakland Athletics. Sizemore batted 2-for-4 with one walk, gathering three RBIs and two runs scored on the day. Our View:Sizemore now carries a seasonal batting average of .313 and is well on his way to the potent campaign we all expected. |
|
April 12, 2008 Grady Sizemore stole his third base of the season and knocked in his fifth run for the Indians on Saturday. Our View:Sizemore has scored only three runs through 11 games, a shockingly low total for a guy who has scored 111 or more in each of the last three seasons. Look for his pace to quicken substantially in the coming weeks. |
|
April 5, 2008 Grady Sizemore left '07 with a bat to envy and continues to shine in '08. In Cleveland's 3-6 loss to the Oakland A's, Sizemore went 2-for-4 with one strike out. Hitting leadoff, Sizemore's .375 batting average, if he can keep it going, serves as a great sign for Cleveland moving forward. Getting on base in front of a some of the best power hitting in the league should result in better returns. |
|
April 3, 2008 Grady Sizemore had a tough day at the plate in a 2-1 loss to Chicago on Thursday, as he went 0-for-4 with a stikeout. He is still off to a solid start as he racked up four hits and four RBI in the first two games of the series. |
|
April 2, 2008 As expected, CF Grady Sizemore is working as the weapon of choice for the Indians, swinging big lumber in tonight's 7-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. Sizemore went 3-for-4 at the plate, hitting a triple with three RBIs and two runs scored on the evening. Sizemore is now hitting .500 and appears to be starting a season that could be as exciting as any. |
|
March 31, 2008 Grady Sizemore homered in Cleveland's seven-run second inning off Mark Buehrle. Sizemore did nothing else at the plate Monday finishing the game 1-for-4. |
|
March 23, 2008 Grady Sizemore had a tough day at the plate against Detroit on Sunday as he went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts. He should bounce back and still holds a solid .355 spring average. |
|
March 11, 2008 Grady Sizemore hit his first two home runs of the spring, at the expense of the Tigers on Tuesday. He is now batting 7-for-14, with 16 total bases. |
