I don't know why anyone would want to trade for Griffey. Dunn definitely has value, but Griffey looks to be about done. The 600 homerun will be a great moment, but after thats gone you're looking at a .250 hitter who is below average in the field, makes a lot of money and is a heartbeat away from injury. Personally I wish he'd hang it up after this year, go out with the #600 still fresh in our minds. 660 just seems so far away for him. I've given Baker some support in the past, but after leaving young pitchers in for 120 pitches, batting out of order, pinch running with pitchers, I think he's lost it. Great mind for hitting, but lacks something in the managerial department. They should put Keppinger down just like they did with Eight Bells, let him go out on top...too soon?
