Griffey to W. Sox

Unless they have the balls to bench Konerko (with Swisher moving to 1st), then I just don't get this trade. An OF of quinten, Griffey & Dye with Swisher playing 1B is the only viable situation.

 

[buckeyeburritos]

anyone know what the reds will get in return

 

[nropp11]

this makes no sense on the SOX side of things, but KW been trying to get him for years now

they basically get a RF, where they already have DYE

i'm guessing Griffey is moved before this is all said and done

makes no sense

 

[nropp11]

maybe send swisher back to oakland for street now

 

[cogenman]

maybe send swisher back to oakland for street now

the A's sure could use a bat.

 

[nropp11]

a .211 bat?

 

[chopz33]

i be really really really surprised if they sent Swisher back

 

[mogo]

is this official yet?

 

[signalcaller]

No Griffey has to agree to it. Other than that. Its all done

 

[nropp11]

radio reports griffey agrees

now who is involved and how long before the sox move again

 

[nropp11]

nick masset and danny richar

haha

STEAL

 

[maddog632]

On the radio in Chicago, they are saying Griffey will play center, Swisher will move to 1B and Thome/Konerko will platoon at DH.

Move Thome or Konerko out of lineup for Griffey? that makes sense

 

[nropp11]

[brewer]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I'm really happy for Junior Griff....

He did his thing, going back to his home town for a long while. He deserves another shot at being a participant on a contending team during the postseason........:shake:
