WTF are we going o do with Griffey? I guess he is a back up OF'er and bat off the bench?

I'd really like KW to pursue DeJesus if possible, but I know thats not going to happen.

Sounds about right. Most random deal possible.

What?

 

 

But where would he play?

.245 .355 .432 .787

 

And basically a corner OF'er. Ugh

So who was traded then? Fields? Logan?

Please god no. I think Josh is more valuable and produces better than Jr right nw.

Uhh... for real? I mean, I love Griffey and everything but his sun is setting, I hope we didn't give too much up.

i would never forgive KW if that was the chip used, seriously, i don't even see that being realistic

Obviously he would play CF (until he got injured), with Swisher moving to 1B...and Konerko to the bench. I don't think that's worth Fields, the Reds just want to get out from under his contract and play youngsters, and we have no options then if Crede is gone besides Juan Uribe!

Maybe we unloaded someone like Broadway, Haeger or Richard.

Yeah it can't be. Must be bullpen arms I'd imagine. Where else do we have tradeable guys?

He doesnt play CF any more. He would be brutal out there.

Hopefully he doesn't accept the trade. Didn't he nix it once already a few years back?

The Score seems to think he'd be in center so Swish can go to first because Swish hits better when he isn't concerned about playing defense.

Maybe we are flipping him to someone like AZ??? WTF this makes no sense.

the one year he wasn't rumored like crazy to be coming here.......odd

The score seems to think that we are stuck in 1999. Jr plays a worse CF than Swish. It would be like throwing JD out there. Q would probably play a better CF at this point.

Interesting. I would imagine the player we gave up depends on how much salary we were willing to pick it up. If we take over his salary, I can't imagine us giving up much. If we get them to pay, it might be someone decent.

This sounds like making a deal for the sake of making one. This doesn't make us a better team.

The only reason they would get Griffey is if either something is physically wrong with either Konerko, Swisher, Dye or Thome, or KW is flipping one of those guys for a piece.

Yeah Mulligan is really excited for no real reason.

I guess he still has a .355 OBP.

 

Any thoughts on if he or Swish is the better CF right now? I'll be honest, I haven't seen enough of Jr in years to say who is better.

Good point. Maybe Swish was more hurt than he appeared last night.
