RockRaines Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 WTF are we going o do with Griffey? I guess he is a back up OF'er and bat off the bench? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I'd really like KW to pursue DeJesus if possible, but I know thats not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 .245 .355 .432 .787 Â And basically a corner OF'er. Ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) So who was traded then? Fields? Logan? Edited July 31, 2008 by G&T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Uhh... for real? I mean, I love Griffey and everything but his sun is setting, I hope we didn't give too much up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 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!

He doesnt play CF any more. He would be brutal out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hopefully he doesn't accept the trade. Didn't he nix it once already a few years back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â 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.

southsider2k5 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 This sounds like making a deal for the sake of making one. This doesn't make us a better team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 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.

southsider2k5 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I guess he still has a .355 OBP. Â 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Maybe Swish was more hurt than he appeared last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
