Five teams interested in Griffey

Now this boy knows how to act in front of peoples. Can you dig it? He is one truly great player that really has never got intos any troubles with really anything. He is an anomally and any team wil benefit by giving him a chance. Sure he is a gimp but he can still get it done between stay on the disables list.

My children are grown up now but if they were kids again i would tell them that if you want a sporting role model then this is the man to watch. A class act on and off the field!

not to griffey bash-
but
he might be a 'good guy' but he NEVER played with any heart or emotion...
there is a reason his teams always STUNK- no LEADERSHIP
Obviously a HOF'er & had all the talent in the world-
but his career failures can be traced right back to him.

My recollection is that his career failures can be traced to his physical fragility and the attendant injuries. Hard to show leadership when you're laid up or rehabing.

He was truly one of the greatest to play the game and one of the nicest people on the planet, injuries or not.

Just because you've got the biggest bat on the team doesn't mean you're supposed to be a vocal, emotional leader. I personally have always admired the quiet leaders that led by example.

I can see him going to the Rays. He's just the kind of person they need for DH.

I heard several area retirement homes were considering giving him contracts to sit in a rocking chair in centerfield for the senior leagues... He is a class act but it's time to hang up the cleats, his best playing days are long over. If he signs this year he will play 50 games and bat .245 with 5 HRs and taint his already impressive career.

Cannot believe I'm saying this, but at this stage, I'd take a Garret Anderson over Griffey

We're not giving him away just so he can hit .320 for our cross-town rivals. Forget it!

Consider that I'd rather re-sign Bobby Bonilla than have Cabrera as my starting corner outfielder.

Yes. But instead of Ivy the walls at Citi Field will have chili peppers growing out of them

Just what we need, a 4th DH. He wouldn't come to the Yankees. Suppossedly Steinbrenner yelled at him when he was a kid.

Yeah but the Yankees can't get anything for him that would make him worth trading, and you would rather have Bonilla anyway...
