+----- Thread: What should the Reds do with Griffey? (/thread-221141.html)

What's your opinion?

I might draw the ire of Griffey fans, but I would let him get his 500th home run in Cincy, then trade him for pitching while he's still healthy and swinging a good bat.

I voted to trade him (as long as its to the O's
) He is still the only guy who has ever hit the Warehouse at Camdem Yards (albeit in the Homerun Derby). As I said in another thread he is still Griffey, he'll fill up seats for awhile if nothing else. Getting out of Cincy and all the pressure going with playing in his hometown will do him great. Also he makes way too much money to be cut...

I think early next season, they should trade him if they can get some decent talent in return. It doesn't look like he'll ever be 100% healthy again.

It's a shame he's prone to injuries....he'd of had a great shot at breaking Hank's record
