firejoemorgan.com discusses the Griffey trade

The trade was bad and basically forced Ozzie to use Griffey as our CF, despite the fact that he's the third (possibly lower) best CF on our team. 'Nuff said.

 

That link is awesome though. It was great when it first was posted, and is still good now. Thanks for posting it :)

I don't know, its pretty hard to knock the trade when you look at the resurgence of Paulie/Swisher which occurred after the deal happened. Plus, Griffey isn't that much of a downgrade over Swisher, imo. Ideally you wouldn't have either of them in CF, although I'll readily admit that Swisher was much better defensively than I had ever expected.

 

That said, I'd still trade him if the right offer came around in the off-season.
