Griffey to Yanks?

[26 to 6]

i wouldnt want Byrnes personally, hes the anti-yankee. he would be the perfect fit with a clubhouse similar to that of the Red Sox, not the Yankees. And plus, he was the fourth outfielder on the A's (started when Swisher was on the DL, but still he was really the fourth), I would rather have Winn, whose a better bunter, could batt leadoff, move Jeter to his natural 2 spot, and throw Cano 6 or 7th and stabalize the back end of the lineup, rather than have byrnes who would bat 9th and would do a mediocre job on offense. But still I would rather have Griffey, and if Griffey DOES go down (which I doubt, because he would get plenty of DH time when the Yanks play Bernie out there 2-3 days a week) Bubba Crosby (or Maybe even Melky, though everybody is down on him, which isnt fair, he didnt have enough of a chance, look how Cano played at first, similar to how Melky played, but they kept throwin Cano out there, I think they should have done the same with Cabrera) could fill in and do just as good a job as Byrnes.

Griffey to the Yankees has been rumored since the man played in Seattle. Of course, back then he did say he didn't want to play for the Yankees, but has since changed his tune.

 

The best thing that could happen to Ken Griffey JR would be to be traded to an AL team where he could rest his fragile body a few days a week by DHing. He's proven he can still hit when healthy, but if I'm the Reds, I flinch everytime he makes a diving play, or tries to take an extra base that he's going to get hurt. And that's a big contract for guy who's had a hard time staying on the field.

 

The problem with Griffey to the Yankees is that's not really what the Yankees need right now. The LAST thing they should be after is an injury prone, aging slugger. The Yankees need a good defensive centerfielder and a true leadoff hitter (Anyone who knows me knows I praise Jeter regularly, but he's more of a #2 hitter to me). They'd be much better off persuing a guy like Randy Winn. He's cheaper, he's got a solid glove, he's more durable, and he's more what the Yankees need in terms of being able to hit atop the lineup.
