Ken Giffey Jr Has Atlanta On His Mind

Have heard Griffey rumors to Atlanta for years, still doubt it's ever going to happen.
If Griffey would rather play in Los Angeles or Atlanta, do the Reds owe it to him to make a deal happen, if it's reasonable? And on the flip side, does he owe it to them to do the same, if Krivsky finds a compatible buyer?
The $12.5 million he makes annually, through next year (there's a club option for 2009 at $16.5 million), doesn't seem so weighty when you consider that he suddenly stands second in the league in home runs - or at least he did until Adam Dunn, his buddy and running mate in trade rumors, clubbed a couple Sunday. And when you consider not only the power of Griffey's game, but the power of Griffey's name.

TOO expensive no way front office bites on that bait. Wouldn't mind sticking him in LF for the remainder of the season but at what cost.

if Andruw approved, could we trade him straight up for Griffey?

No way, AJ has more value then Griffey right now. If Griffey weren't so injury prone maybe.

Druw(maybe add filler) for Griffey and Bronson Arroyo?

That I would do, but Cincy won't unless the filler is a starter say Davies or Carlyle.

If that happened, do we let Harris play Center full time?

Why not? He has played solid in LF this season so far.

he played well in cf tonight, Bobby gave Druw the night off. Harris had a nice diving catch.
