March 18, 200422 yr The White Sox line up for the last few years have been too right handed which means no balance and too predictable.Yes,this is a huge risk as far as health is concerned,but there is always a risk with any player especially a pitcher.But Griffey can turn his career around with a better line up and being back in the American League,hitting in a hitter's park.Rowand is truly a fourth outfielder which will make a weak bench better.As far as the other OF's, Ordonez will probably leave,Borchard still isn't proven, Lee could be trade bait because of a salary increase and Reed and Sweeney are just not ready.Remember all the past so-called can't miss prospects the Sox had that has failed? If Griffey comes alive,he will be close to 500 homers,near HOF status that would rival Sosa,and would make a huge impact to the Sox org. And if they could trade a middle range prospect and get the Reds to absorb most of his salary,it is worth the gamble. KW DO IT!!!!!
March 18, 200422 yr Griffey would look good in the Sox lineup today. But 3 years from now, I think we'd really regret absorbing his salary. I'd rather gamble on Borchard's developement than Griffey's possible health and longevity.
March 18, 200422 yr No interest - high salary, moody, injury-prone. If I could just get my time machine to work, then MAYBE.....
March 18, 200422 yr Jr. can swing the bat left handed, but I think we would end up being saddled with an injury prone high priced star, who most likely played half a season for us healthy.
March 18, 200422 yr f*** Griffey. If we're going to get an overpaid LH bat, why not just shell the s*** out and do whatever it takes to get Jim Thome or Jason Giambi? Or maybe we could just trade a guy like Rauch to Tampa for Huff. Maybe add Diaz too. It's.that.simple.(it would also involve trading Konerko/Lee/Thomas too, but I decided not to mention that)
