July 31, 200817 yr Maybe the trade is to bring in an SP and a Griffey salary dump is part of the deal. Maybe Fields and Anderson for Harang or Arroyo and Griffey. If not JD is gone to another team for an SP, Red Sox? if they really do trade Manny. Teams that would be in the market for an OF would be the Diamondbacks, Mets, Yankees, Marlins, Cardinals, and Rays. Tampa and Arizona would be the two that would have the pitching to get a deal done and still be able to contend. And we know that KW likes to make deals with the D-backs. Marlins may have the pitching depending on how Sanchez comes back this week.
July 31, 200817 yr Author The difference between .230 and .245 is a few singles. Hardly noticeable over the course of 4 months. i don't like looking at a players stats on the whole, until the season is over. griffey has something like a 13 or 14 game hitting streak and his July numbers are really good
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 08:34 AM) If it's for two insignificant minor leaguers, I like the deal. Griffey Jr. is on a 14 game hitting streak. And when you're insignificant in our system, you're REALLY insignificant.
July 31, 200817 yr The Sox are not trading Dye or Quentin, so no reason to even speculate about that.

July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 09:34 AM) I'd still rather have a few more singles from that slot since the odds of people on base are probably higher with CQ, Dye and Thome hitting in front. If that slot draws a walk who's going to knock him in? Toby Hall? The .314 hitting Cuban in the 7th/8th slot?
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 09:36 AM) SCORE with a nice thought, Griffey had to move to RF because Dunn is so bad in left they needed a better CF, just a thought. Makes some sense to me. I dont know, kinda sounds like they are just trying to put any positive spin on it they can, no matter how out there it may be...
July 31, 200817 yr I'd rather see Griffey to go right, Swisher stay in center, and Dye play first. I've heard many posters talk about Dye playing first in the future, maybe this is the time now.

July 31, 200817 yr Scotty Bowman to be announced Senior Advisor for the Blackhawks Brett Favre to the Bears Griffey to the Sox Could be a memorable day in Chicago sports lore.
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 08:41 AM) They going to make us wait till 3pm on this? f*** that, I'm going back to bed.
July 31, 200817 yr Do you really want to dick around with Dye defensively while he's kicking ass at the plate? Also, he's been outstanding in RF this year.
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 09:43 AM) f*** that, I'm going back to bed. I'm with you, when I awake in 2 hours I expect some f***ing news. Waking up to Griffeytalk at 7 AM is an awful way to start your morning, throws your head in a tizzy.
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 09:41 AM) They going to make us wait till 3pm on this? I kinda hope so.It will be my entertainment for the rest of the work day.SPECULATION GALORE!

July 31, 200817 yr The huge problem with trading Cabrera today is the White Sox would be short on a day they play Minnesota. It will be interesting to see how this all pans out. It still makes no sense. I don't understand why the White Sox would assume Griffey's contract even if it meant getting a mediocre reliever for next to nothing. Weathers or Affeld aren't worth taking on Griffey's money if that is what is happening.

Weathers or Affeld aren't worth taking on Griffey's money if that is what is happening. I don't think that's what's happening at all. IMO Kenny wants Griffey because Kenny thinks Griffey is good. Yes, it sounds strange but KW probably just thinks Griffey will play well for a contender over the final 2 months of the season.
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 08:34 AM) Andruw Jones says hi I think there was a different reason for that one (chemical) which I don't think is involved with PK. He could be washed up but I think it's unlikely.
July 31, 200817 yr I'll give KW the benefit of the doubt. We've all doubted him more than agreed with him and he's given us a championship and 2 great teams in the past 4 years.
