A .250 hitter with average power? If so, then Griffey would be a good fit. 3586758 2008-12-08T19:15:21-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/599/966/thumb/das_boot.jpg 54 NY drew31177 westchester 600606 4 ? 3584932 2008-12-08T18:20:07-05:00 112 NY .talkingNYsports.com New York 623254 3 a better version of cliff floyd! talkingNYsports.com 3584383 2008-12-08T17:38:52-05:00 1121 CA Yankee27 Castaic 188694 2 I think Griffey Jr. would be the only person of this core that would be willing to sign a 1 year deal 3583791 2008-12-08T16:59:37-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/881/74/thumb/Bobby_2.jpg 214 FL FLsFinest St. Petersburg 88474 1 As much as I loved Griffey growing up I'm not sure he fits the Rays need entirely. He'd most likely help Upton and some of the lineup by taking pitches and teaching them how to be professionals but he is a lefty when we need a righty doesn't necessarily fit into how Friedman and Co. build a team. I'd enjoy going and watching Griffey (yes I have been going to many games over the years minus the four years I spent at FSU) but young talent from our own system seems to be working. 3583178 6 <p>&nbsp;</p> <div><span>LAS VEGAS -- Ken Griffey Jr., who'd love to play near his Orlando hometown, just might have a chance to play for the Tampa Bay Rays if their first several hitting/outfield options fall through.</span></div> <div><br /></div> <div><br /></div> <div><span>SI.com reported last summer that Griffey was hoping to go to the Rays before the White Sox made a trade to get him.</span></div> <div><br /></div> <div><br /></div> <div><span>The Rays are said to want to sign a bona fide hitter to a one-year deal and are thought to be considering <strong>Milton Bradley</strong>, <strong>Pat Burrell</strong>, <strong>Bobby Abreu</strong>,<strong> Jason Giambi</strong>, <strong>Raul Ibanez</strong> and possibly others, as well. <strong>Cliff Floyd</strong>, who did a great job for them last year as their designated hitter, is another possibility if he is healthy enough to return.</span></div> <div><br /></div> <div><br /></div> <div><span>But many of the players figure to get multiyear contracts. Certainly, Bradley, Abreu and Ibanez should be able to do that. As it turns out, Griffey just might wind up fitting into the Rays' budget better, and he'd be thrilled with that, especially now that Tampa Bay is a contender.</span></div> http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY Jon Heyman New York 10084 30245
