The decision now remains in the hands of the Griftster himself. The Reds have traded Griffey to the White Sox, pending his approval.
During Ken Griffey’s 10 year career, the slugger has never made it into a World Series game. The current standings in the AL Central shows the White Sox on top by a game and a half, giving Griffey the perfect opportunity to jump on the band wagon and finally make it to post season play for once. Can you blame him? Will Griffey make it to the World Series for the first time in his career in 2008 with the White Sox? He sure deserves it.
The Sox are now set at the corners with Carlos Quentin in left and Jermaine Dye in right. They could play Nick Swisher at first to open center for Griffey, a move that would reduce the playing time of first baseman Paul Konerko. But Griffey has not played center regularly since 2006. Would they consider trying Griffey at first base?
The Reds will not confirm the transaction details of the trade according to Fox Sports.
Griffey, 38, is batting .245 this season with a .355 on-base percentage, 15 home runs and 53 RBIs in 359 at-bats. Earlier this season, he hit his 600th home run.
Griffey didn’t do much for the sox after this trade, but I hope he gets to go back to the Mariners to end his career. It might be the only hope of ticket sales the team gets this yerar.
A neighbour of mine asked me to check out your site 2 weeks ago, since we both enjoy exactly the same stuff (yeah we’re close budz, clone heads, it has been 26 years) and I should got to say that I am majorly impressed. My friend and I were considering to start a similar website just like yours, however, we had some problems. 1st, neither of us is a tech individual, secondly, we do not really know where to start.. i know a lot of people managed to get their Dot Coms on the Internet just recently (due to cheap prices, etc) but we are still having difficulties. I would greatly appreciate it if you recommend to us a place to start from, because we don’t have a hint Lol. Yeah it sucks being 41 year old internet literate. or should I say DotCom literates?
