Poll Results: Fans confident in new tandem

World Series MVP Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon’s bat at the top of the order will be missed, but fans voted the replacement duo, Nick Johnson and Curtis Granderson, a better combination for 2010.

Johnson and Granderson received 67 percent of the vote of over 100 responses.

I have to say, that’s a lot of confidence for two guys who don’t have track records that compare to Matsui’s and Damon’s. However, getting younger and getting cheaper while not losing a lot of production was the right way to go, I think.
