Obviously due to his age and to me it sucks it has to be that kind of technicality that prevents us from predicting if he'll pass certain records or not. I think he'll get signed to a contender with very little money attached. I think Griffey will go to another AL team. I also think he'll play a role where he's a utility player doing a DH one day and OF the next. Hell if he can do 1st base that might give him more years. If he's at the point of no return I think he's a first ballot nominee. Check, sign and stamp it. Approved.

If it was not for injuries no telling what he may have done. It is just rather funny in times where people are losing jobs stuggling to get by this article acts as if these wealthy overpaid men are victims. They had their day and got crazy paid for it. Grow up move on and let the youngsters have their turn.
