For the record, we scanned Griffey’s Baseball-Reference page and were quite surprised to see he only has one MVP Award on the shelf.

Griffey Apprehensive

... Ken Griffey Jr. is still deciding between the Mariners and the Braves.  The team that doesn’t sign Griffey is expected to sign Garret Anderson.  With the Braves appearing to be the favorite to sign Griffey, G.A. may be destined to return to the AL West.  It’ll certainly be strange, if it happens, to see G.A. in a Mariner uniform.  Garret may also be headed toward a disharmonious clubhouse, something he’s had some experience dealing with in the past. ...

SEATTLE MARINERS - ALL TIME HOME GROWN TEAM vs. ALL TIME ACQUIRED TEAM

... I started overrating the Mariners in the mid 1980s, one of their big budding stars was Phil Bradley. He seemed like a prototypical #2 hitter. He got on base (second in the league with on base percentage in 1986) he had power (topping out at 26 homers in 1985) and consistently hovered around .300. He never reached those levels when he was dealt to Philadelphia and is now a big wig at the Player's Association.

I pursued a very different career field than my father so there wasn't really any footsteps to fill. But for sons of fathers who began their own successful business, or sons of famous athletes and actors, it must be frustrating to try and shed that "son" label. Some seem to excel. Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey both became better hitters than their fathers, both of whom were quite good. Josh ...

From the Red Sox you will have Curt Schilling - a player whose less than a lock case will probably be hurt by the number of sure-fire HOF players in 2014. Frank Thomas - I can only hope doesn't try and hang on for one more year. If he quits after this season then he's a lock for the Class of 2014.

As Robert Dudek pointed out the other day, they cost money, they're far away from the majors, and as with any draft picks, there is a high rate of failure. And really, if a team was really that determined to get extra picks, they could easily just spend that money scouting in Latin America and pay a bunch of 17 year old kids a million dollars to sign with them.

However, injuries after his trade to the Reds in 2000 appear to have erased that possibility. Nonetheless, Griffey will be regarded among the game's all-time greats. Not only did he have one of the sweetest swings in the game, he was gifted outfielder and played with an enthusiasm that was contagious. Unlike nearly every other slugger of this era, Griffey is untarnished by allegations of ...
