I Never Liked Him Anyways

never liked him much either myself.
the guy does like to lie, or maybe its just posturing. I still think Williams puts the deal together and he does end up there. I think they are messing with team chemistry there as Dye who is playing well would probably be affected the most with less playing time. Personally I wouldn't do it.
Also, can you think of any other guy who 5 years ago would have been a lock for first ballot hall of famer, and now if he retired today would be lucky to get in at all.

actually Griffey has been playing great IMO and I think he has rejuvenated his career. I think he can still give a solid 6 years and will be a lock for the Hall after all is said and done. Thats if he doesnt get injured and thats a big if
you are right about this year rex, he has been playing great. But he's a really interesting case. He had 8 years of greatness or so, and then 3 or 4 years of worthlessness. Now 3/4 of a year of playing solid again. Personally, if he retired today I don't think he gets in.
But like you said, if he puts even 4 more years of average numbers up and doesn't get hurt, then you can add those totals to what he did in his "great" years and they all add up.
Similar to Terrell Davis in a way. He'll never get into the hall of fame, but he was one of the greatest ever for 4 or 5 years.
Like you said, if he can stay healthy and put up another 4 years, he will for sure get in. But, if he ended his career today with injury, I doubt he would get in.
I still think hes a bad fit for the sox, as you don't mess with chemistry. You gain some pop in center field, but you lose some range as Rowand is definitely the better defensive player this year (obviously not for career), but I think the range of Griffey in center has fallen off a bit over the years.
