Should be a good pickup for Atlanta if this pans out.

Good, he'll play 75-90 games next year

I would like to know what this story has to do with ARod doing steroids 6 years ago. Get with the program SI.

Good for Griffey and the Braves. It'll keep him closer to his family and he can play in a warmer climate. Glad to hear he's got at least another year in the tank. He is one of what could be the last true Hall of Famers. It's been great watching him the past couple decades.

If he stays healthy this should help the arrogant Braves out but they will still suck this year.

If Griffey is so obsessed with being close to Orlando, as we are constantly reminded, why doesn't he just offer his services to the Rays for free?

It pains me to say this, because I grew up in Georgia rooting for the Braves, but this will be an unimportant signing by an unimporant team.

ha...very funny!

how many game did that dude play the lat 5 years? 10, 15

Well if he can stay healthy, no reason he shouldn't work out nicely platooning out there. And not a great loss for the M's, either.

Yea, that's probably a good estimate. I just figured he would play for an AL team so he could DH?

Brad whenever I am blue, I like to toggle on down to the nearest used car lot and smash some inventory with a monster truck. Try it, you will feel a whole helluva lot better!

THE TRUTH is a caring man who wants to see Griffey succeed.

Actually I do want him to finish well. He was the star of my generation. I still have that SI cover of him when they called him the Natural.

That was a very long time ago. Next cover he gets will probably be titled "The Natural Disaster."

The Rays liked Pat the Bat better than Griffey. Can't say I blame them, I would have preferred Braves picked up any everyday left fielder but I guess a platoon with Griffey is better than nothing.

File this one in the "nobody cares" column

LOL...what exactly makes the Braves arrogant?

Griffey should use 'roids. It may help him perform....

Maybe he would qualify for a sr. discount on them. Where is Radomski, ask him about the AARP discount for Griffey's roids.

Agreed, your never out of it in that division if you can play 50-50 ball. A team that puts a string of 4 or 5 wins together in September can win that division these days.

My bad I was thinking West for some reason, you are correct. In that case I'm not sure about the Braves chances afterall. I know you love them so I'm sorry to say that but it could be another long year for you.
