Griffey to the White Sox


McNulty

Recommended Posts

I'm glad for Griff, I'll root for the Chi Sox now but not really sure how this makes much sense for them...

Griff/Swisher at CF/1B?? Not sure how thats much better than Konerko/Swisher.

Maybe they didn't give up that much??

Maybe somebody gave up something good for Konerko?

Nothing confirmed in Cincy yet but this news is just now breaking here too. I haven't heard anything about the return and considering the Reds probably didn't get into Washinton DC until about 3 AM this morning, we may not hear more about this until around lunchtime. :eek:

I'm so torn about this whole thing. I wanted to see Junior win a championship here but that's not going to happen this year for the Reds and I don't think they will pick up his option before next year anyway. I am and will always be a Junior fan but I'm happy if he'll finally get a chance at a championship with the WSox. He will be missed here though, at least by me. :(

Which is worse, Griffey trying to play center every day, or Konerko's hitting (.214/.312/.349)?

I thought the goal of a trade was to address weaknesses. Not just shift them around.

Yea...This really doesn't make a lot of sense for the Sox.

What they gain with Griff's bat they lose in CF and they are risking injury.

So, unless Quentin can shift to CF, i think it is a bad move by them and I don't even know what they gave up yet.

It's been reported now that Junior approved the trade. Redszone broke on me a little while ago so I don't know any other details yet. I guess the Reds fans came out in droves to find out the news today, LOL :laughlol:

I wish Junior nothing but the best and I'm glad I got to be at the GABP celebration of his 600th HR earlier this season. He's a good guy and I hope he gets that shot at a ring.
