July 31, 200817 yr Just wondering if we would get compensation for Griffey Jr. after this season if he signs elsewhere. Does anybody know? I know they decided that they will buyout his contract option but would they still get compensation? If we got compensation picks for Griffey Jr., O Cab (if he's not traded), and Crede (and possibly Uribe), that would be absolutely outstanding. Thanks

Thanks If we offer him arbitration, and he signs elsewhere, we should get 1 sandwich pick (between 1st and 2nd rounds) due to Griffey's status as a type-B free agent.

July 31, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 02:41 PM) nope Really? They confirmed the trade at 10-something this morning. That would leave him 8 hours and some-odd minutes before game time...

I know you don't want to read 50+ pages of s***, but go read the last 5 pages or so of the thread that's pinned, and every question you have asked is answered.
July 31, 200817 yr Even if he makes to Minneapolis in time, I doubt they'd play him on that turf. Maybe he'll pinch hit.
July 31, 200817 yr Here is my question... Has a team ever had two guys with 500 homers in the line up at the sametime?

July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 01:52 PM) McCovey and Mays? Mays had retired by the time McCovey hit #500. I glanced at the 500 homer list, and I don't think it has ever been done.

I glanced at the 500 homer list, and I don't think it has ever been done. and almost 4 active players on the roster with over 300 HRs each: Jr - 608, Thome - 526, Dye -288 , Konerko - 285 That is over 1,700 HRs between those 4.
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 01:58 PM) It was an "off the top of my head" guess. A good guess it was. It was something like 3 years from happening.
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) Pretty sure Palmeiro and Sosa played together in their last years. I think he means clean players.
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) Pretty sure Palmeiro and Sosa played together in their last years. 2005 in Baltimore. Good catch
July 31, 200817 yr QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) I think he means clean players. Palmeiro: I did not take steroids period. (only to be proven wrong a month or 2 later) Sosa: I can't speak english umm I mean Yo no puedo hablar ingles 2 of the top preformers in the trial...that was so freakin hilarious
