southsider2k5 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 He would have to take a huge paycut to get here. He is pulling down like 8 million a year, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I'll pass. How about Ken Griffey Jr. If nothing else at least we will grab ourselves some attention. We trade them Joe Borchard and Alex Escobar and they eat half of his salary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We trade them Joe Borchard and Alex Escobar and they eat half of his salary... Dream on. They give up Griffey and take two scrub prospects who haven't panned out for the privilege of still paying half of his salary? They would get a better offer than that...probably already have.

Except for one aberrant year, his offensive production has been downright bad. Unfortunately for the Sox, KW has been interested in him for years. I wouldn't be shocked to see KW acquire him. Sounds like a Kenny move to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the eat half his salary thing, but I'm sure that the Reds would, at the very least, consider Borchard and Escobar for Griffey. You guys think Erstad's the human hospital...and somehow Griffey is not worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Ken Griffey Jr. The Waling Dl list. Get over it Jecleke Sheesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Griffey's big bucks just doesn't fit with the Sox. As good as he is when healthy, he is cost prohibitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 If Frank Thomas wasnt on this team I'd definitely look into acquiring Griffey.... Have him play RF and DH alot.... he'd be a niiiiice addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 If Frank Thomas wasnt on this team I'd definitely look into acquiring Griffey.... Have him play LF and DH alot.... he'd be a niiiiice addition. A mid payroll team like the Sox can't afford to have an injury prone outfielder with a huge contract for the next few years. We've got enough payroll limitations from a few players enough as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the money, I'd rather just keep Maggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 For the money, I'd rather just keep Maggs. That I agree upon. Maggs is the s***... I love him, but the prospects for his return are quite bleak..... I think I should also add to the griffey idea... I would assume they'd have to find a way to make Cincy eat some of that salary. With the Reds desperation to get rid of the albatross around their neck I think they'd consider it. I think they'd want a pitcher in return which i wouldnt really want to give up.... so I guess I wouldnt really want to make that deal. I think Jon Garland would be the guy in question and thats too much to give up for Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
