Question

Should the Reds get rid of Ken Griffey Jr. as his skills have deteriorated tremendously?

Answer 1

Have you watched him play this season? He still is hitting the ball hard. I would maybe consider moving him to first base or something tough.

Answer 2

NO

Answer 3

they should replace him with a young guy thats not going to brake his hip when he gives a hr trot

Answer 4

He has a $16million dollar option for next season and even tho he still has some pop in his back, you can geta youngster or 3 that wont miss 3 games every other 10 games. He would make a killer DH for an AL team but his history of health problems would say let him go.. he is still a fave of mine but age cathes up with you. If this were 6 or 7 years ago.. h**l yea keep him

Answer 5

I think that they should.

Answer 6

As a Reds fan now that he has hit 600 Steroid Free, and has never had a World Series ring, I think we should trade him because he only has 2 seasons left in him. Trade him for some minor league prospects to a solid team like the Rays or a team that he loves like the Mariners. As a Future Hall of Famer, he deserves better tham a team that hasn't finshed better than .500 in the past 7 seasons.

Answer 7

They can try but they have several obstacles, no trade clause for one, then there is the matter of a dnace partner in the trade, if he is so horrible then who would want to take him off your hands?

Answer 8

I wouldn't say that his skills have diminished tremendously (although they have over the years, but it happens with all ballplayers), but I guess you missed his play this season.

.246, 14 HR, 50 RBI - and he has 600+ home runs in his career. He's a sure HOF'er in the future.

I'm not sure who the Reds would trade him to if they did deal him.
