We can sit and poke and read rumors all day, we know what people say, and we know what has been goin on. Branyan is the one that talked to JR. They let Tug go to bring in a pitcher from the brewers Pena. They had one of the sprint invitees move lockers to open up jr's original locker from his days in seattle, people say alot of things, but actions speak louder than words, and we all know that Seattle is the best place for Jr to play almost full time. Atlanta wont gain anything out of bringing him there, his Defense is not there anymore. So now i guess we just have to wait.
Opps....
Mark Bowman of MLB.com writes that he'd be "shocked" if Ken Griffey Jr. doesn't sign with the Braves.
Bowman speculates that the Braves could announce the re-signing of Tom Glavine and signing of Griffey during the same press conference Wednesday. Griffey appeared to be on the verge of returning to Seattle just a couple days ago, but Atlanta apparently stepped up with a more lucrative offer. Feb. 17 - 11:11 am et

If Griffey signs with the Braves, it will just back up what I thought of him ever since he whined his way out of Seattle - he is just like any other pro athlete and no better than A-Rod for leaving.
Yeah it sounds like him going to the Braves is a done deal. Any offense that he brings to Atlanta will be nullified by his terrible defense in the outfield.
I'm done with Griffey. He had his chance to come back and he turned it down. Apparently all the stuff he said last summer was a bunch of BS.
If he does sign with Atlanta I would look at putting him at 1st base. His bat is there, but it's obvious he can't play in the field. Look I don't want to offend anyone, but if he takes more money to go to Atlanta (if they offer more) then I think he truly just wants the money. I know he has family connections, but Jr face it either your going to get hurt or you won't start many games. Maybe used as a pinch hitter. That shows me you just wanted the money and not to play. Now maybe (don't take this wrong either) he wants to win one and feels Atlanta offers that the best, but he had a pretty good oppurtunity with the M's. DHing gives you mainly 4 at-bats a game. Rests him up also come interleague maybe he could play a little in the field. But who knows? I thought the more logical choice was Seattle, but hey what do I know?
I hope he fucking tears his ACL, MLC, and breaks his kneecap...I hate that motherfucker..
When I get home today I'm going to my wall, removing my framed autographed game jersey, then I'm going to soak it in lighter fluid and burn it....Fuck that son of a bitch...If I can get it recorded I'll post it..
