Junior Off To Chi-Town



Ken Griffey, Jr. has agreed to be traded from the Cincinnati Reds to the Chicago White Sox.

As a 10/5 player (10 years in the bigs, 5 with the same team), he had the right to thumb his nose as the Sox's offer. Griff's in his 9th season with the Red Legs.

Full deets forthcoming, but as it stands, he's going from 4th to 1st, so good for him! The White Sox lead the AL Central by 1.5 games. The down & out Reds are 7 games below .500 and 13.5 out in the NL Central race.

We'll see how the Sox shuffle the defense since they're already at full capacity in the outfield with Jermaine Dye & Carlos Quentin at the corners and Nick Swisher in center. Speculation is that Swisher would platoon with Paul Konerko. Nicky's only hittin' .230 with 15 HRs and 50 RBIs.

Griff would then man the CF spot, a position he hasn't played in 2 years.
Welcome back to the AL, Junior!
