    White Sox get Griffey....whaaa?

    http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/8...0813162&ATT=49

    4 outfielders? Does one move to first, don't they have a DH? Named Thome? And a 1B in Konerko?

    Dammit. I was going to see the Reds and Nats tomorrow and add Junior off to my list of "Greatest Players I've Seen".

    Nice trade for the White Sox.


    (I've already seen Mr. Griffey play in person twice, I believe)

    No, bad trade, they have a logjam, as Alloutwar says

    And why would you replace Swisher or Konerko who are both hitting around .230 with a guy hitting .240, it doesn't seem to me that its an upgrade from what they already have.

    Oh crap, the other guy is Swisher? Well, they're not replacing him or Konerko, and Griffey's only other true option is DH, so I think we know which 38-year old should be on the bench.

    Why? Thome is putting up better numbers than Griffey, Swisher, and Konerko. They probably go with a platoon at first with Konerko and Swisher and platoon Griffey in CF with Swisher depending on righty/lefty match ups
