Ken Griffey Jr.

Easily Hawks most quoted saying on this site on July 30th-Aug 1st, and Aug 30th-September 1st.

might turn out to be good that we didn't get him either. He is out with a foot injury.

Would he have injured his foot playing in USCF?

 

Never know.

Never know.

based on his previous history, yes. 5 days after we traded for him, he would have been hurt.

He's gonna miss 1 or 2 games with a sprained foot. I'd hardly say he's out for the season. God, the guy misses 2 games and suddenly he's back to being injury prone.

well, the way i grasp it, either you're injury prone......or your not.

 

didn't know you could shed that tag.

The guy had a bad break injury wise for a few years, he has NOT been hurt at all this year. How can you call the guy injury prone if he's healthy for the entire season while putting up ridiculous offensive numbers?

With a couple healthy seasons in a row, yeah you can. But it takes more than 1 year to do it.

If Nomar were healthy and hitting well all this year...I'd still call him injury prone.

 

J.D. Drew was healthy and hitting well all last year. I thought the Dodgers overpaid for him...because he was injury prone. (I was right).

 

You need like 2-3 years at least in order to fully clear that title.

Still, the fact that he's going to be out for the next 2 games should not make people happy that the Sox didn't trade for him. You can't be pining for him one second then you don't get him, he misses 2 games you you're glad you didn't trade for him. That makes no sense.

Griffey is injury prone. He is prone to hamstring injuries. At least, he has been. A new workout regimine or something may have changed that. Still, I'd love to have him in our lineup.

Accept, nobody said that they were happy that we didn't trade for him. I merely said it may turn out to be good that we didn't. Don't twist my words around.

You're totally correct that him being out for 2 games shouldn't make people wish that we hadn't traded for him...if the price was someone other than BMac, Anderson, or Gonzalez, I still wish we had...assuming of course the diagnosis is correct and he's only out for 2 days.

He's gonna miss 1 or 2 games with a sprained foot. I'd hardly say he's out for the season. God, the guy misses 2 games and suddenly he's back to being injury prone.

 

You may have spoken too soon...

He had his wrist broken on a HBP. I guess Drew doesn't drink enough milk or get enough calcium in his diet???

ESPN is saying he's most likely out for the season

Of course, missing two games isn't that big a deal. But when you have Griffey's injury history, it can be.

 

Griffey's games played from 2001 through 2004.) 111, 70, 53, 83...That means he missed 331 games in a 4 year stretch. If that's not injury prone, I don't know what is. And if it turns out he is out for the season, THANK THE f***ING LORD WE DIDN'T TRADE FOR HIM!
