Late Innings

Ken Griffey Jr. is a Seattle Mariner.

So if I read my rumors right, Griff got pissed over DOB at the AJC, rumoring that he “chose” the Braves, so he decided to return home to Seattle in hopes that he’ll plant butts in Safeco. (On an aside, all these stores are using the word “choose", as if we’re dealing with Pokemon.) Anyways it’s a good strategy, but I’m not sure if the Braves should be disappointed that Griffey is off the market, especially knowing that Jim Edmonds is (still) available. Now if Frank Wren would just take my advice, they’d have a pretty interesting outfield this season, especially with Matt Diaz and those rookies in the mix. Then again Wren didn’t take my advice when he was running the show in Baltimore, and he got fired. QED homeboy.

On an aside, boy did I predict that salary that he signed on…
