July 31, 200818 yr I wouldn't expect much. Unloading the salary will be enough. I hate to see him go, if he doesn, because I personally like Jr. But, as a Reds fan, it is time for the club to go a different direction. IMHO.

July 31, 200818 yr He would be stupid not to approve the trade. Reds managment should encourage him every way possible (We're going to bring up Stubbs or Dickerson and see what they can do the rest of the year) to accept the trade. You would think, but didnt he nix a trade to the White Sox a few years back? It ended up costing him a world series ring. Im not a huge Griffey fan, hate to see how it turned out here in Cincy but it is time for both parties to part ways.
July 31, 200818 yr He would probably DH against righties. Konerko has really struggled this year. They would probably put Thome at 1B, make Jr. the DH, and play Konerko against lefties. Or they could play Quentin or Jr. in CF. Griffey has struggled a few years. How often has Thome played 1B the last few years?
July 31, 200818 yr Author Griffey has struggled a few years. How often has Thome played 1B the last few years? I'm not really sure. They could also put Jr. in the OF, and move Swisher to 1B.
July 31, 200818 yr I'm not really sure. They could also put Jr. in the OF, and move Swisher to 1B. I don't think they want Griffey in CF a whole lot. I think he may look at it and ask how much he will play.
July 31, 200818 yr I would assume this would be the first time two members of the 500 club were in the same lineup....
July 31, 200818 yr Griffey wore out his welcome here long ago. I know he's not a jerk, and he's great with kids, but I think he's a cnacer to this clubhouse that is full of young guys who just want to do their thing.

July 31, 200818 yr That and he's not a very good ballplayer...This lineup gets a whole lot better with him NOT in the 3 hole.
July 31, 200818 yr Author That and he's not a very good ballplayer..anymore. . Let me fix that for you.
July 31, 200818 yr .......anymore! Right. I'm a fan of his, always have been. He may be the best all around ever, but it actually pains me to see him play now.
July 31, 200818 yr That and he's not a very good ballplayer... A guy with over 600 career HRs, one of the best defensive OF of all-time and he's not a very good ballplayer?
July 31, 200818 yr Right. I'm a fan of his, always have been. He may be the best all around ever, but it actually pains me to see him play now. 100% agree.....
