July 31, 200817 yr WTF are we going o do with Griffey? I guess he is a back up OF'er and bat off the bench?
July 31, 200817 yr I'd really like KW to pursue DeJesus if possible, but I know thats not going to happen.
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 06:11 AM) So who was traded then? Fields? Please god no. I think Josh is more valuable and produces better than Jr right nw.
July 31, 200817 yr Uhh... for real? I mean, I love Griffey and everything but his sun is setting, I hope we didn't give too much up.
July 31, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 06:11 AM) So who was traded then? Fields? Logan? i would never forgive KW if that was the chip used, seriously, i don't even see that being realistic
July 31, 200817 yr 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!
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 07:13 AM) Please god no. I think Josh is more valuable and produces better than Jr right nw. 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.
July 31, 200817 yr Hopefully he doesn't accept the trade. Didn't he nix it once already a few years back?
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 07:16 AM) He doesnt play CF any more. He would be brutal out there. 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.

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.

July 31, 200817 yr 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.
July 31, 200817 yr This sounds like making a deal for the sake of making one. This doesn't make us a better team.
July 31, 200817 yr 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.

July 31, 200817 yr 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.
