What should the Cincinnati Reds do with Ken Griffey Jr? He is a major liability and needs to go!?

They have to keep him until 2008, at which time, I think he'll retire.  He said he wanted to finish his career in Cincinnati.

I'm sure Met suits weren't happy but what do you expect?  Zambrano stinks and the sooner they admit they made a colossal blunder trading Scott Kazmir for this guy the better.  Gary Cohen is one of the best play by play guys in MLB and hopefully he won't be punished too severely.

Not no but HELL NO!  He doesn't want his record to be taken from him.  Even though 99.99% of people know he's guilty.  He wants to go down as one of the greatest baseball players in history; even if he did cheat his way into the record books and the Hall of Fame.  But now that he's quit for the new testing "laws" that have been put into effect he's a worthless player, 1 HR and a .222 AVG.  See what happens when the juice wears off Barry?  Plus his body is starting to fall apart.  Now that he doesn't have the juice to repair his body parts his knee is falling apart. He's a JOKE, and will never admit to using steroids.  Remember the phony story about his "accidental" use?  How the hell do you accidentally stick yourself in the ass with a needle?  Must have slipped and fell!

Its not the managers fault your GM doesn't sign anyone good and has a hard time getting his minor league talent to play the way they should.  If you had a good GM you would have Jermaine Dye, Johnny Damon, and Carlos Beltran  in your outfield.  Stupid moves by your GM and an owner that isn't willing to spend any money is  your problem.

Alleged wife beater ....\n\nNothing will or should happen to him until his guilt is determined. Remember in this country you are innocent until proven guilty ...\n\nIf he is found to be guilty, I would imagine that his criminal penalty will be light, and his MLB consequences will not be all that great either. I would guess some community service ....The Phillies will certainly not release him as he is too talented for that (sad statement but true). Another team would pick him up in a heartbeat.

News: Albert Pujols took batting practice, fielded grounders and ran hard in the outfield Tuesday. The Cardinals' star is getting closer to returning as he recovers from a strained oblique muscle suffered June 3. Pujols might be able to come off the DL in time for the Cardinals' weekend interleague series in Detroit. "He's stepping up the program. Everything so far, he's feeling good," manager Tony La Russa said, adding Pujols was not in any pain. "He'll keep stepping it up until he's game-ready. But there is a conditioning factor now, too. It's not just getting his legs in shape and his arm in shape, there is a lot to get ready."\n\nAnalysis: Keep Pujols reserved until the weekend at least, but he could return to lineups thereafter. That's great news for his owners at this point, but there's still a few rivers for his oblique to cross.\n\nDon't you love it when jack-holes like the 2 idiots above post stupid answers?

you should get rid of him sweetheart. yes he won the cy young award but he is not worth all the pain and anxiety. there are long stretches where he is terrible and has a bloated ERA. I drafted him in one league just for value since people like him, and I traded him for barry zito and then he went on the DL. im loving that deal right now!

Well, to start, they really need to get rid of Ponson.  There's nothing worse than a bad attitude combined with lack of talent.  I would have to agree that they should try and make a run at Dontrelle Willis, because if the Marlins are given a good enough offer, they'll trade him off in a heartbeat.\n\nAnd they really, desperately need to get rid of Jason Isringhausen and get themselves a pitcher who can handle the closer role.  I know he's leading the league in saves or is really close to it, but it's painful to hear about how many times he's nearly blown it.

he is a career .281 hitter.\nhe is currently hitting .261.\nand averages 18-ish HR a year.\nhe currently has 4.  so he might go over that.\nso not too far off.\n\nMets definitely overpaied for him.

Several factors.  Money was an issue.  They really don't need his bat in the lineup.  He is hurt more and more each season.  He is on the down side of what I would call a HOF career.  Certainly if he reaches 500 home runs he will be elected into the HOF.  But maybe the one factor that shadows everything else, he carries a lot of baggage with him.  He's not the most pleasant guy to deal with plus when he doesn't get his way he can be poison in the locker room.  The Yankees have enough to deal with with A-Rod.  Plus they need pitching.

Chris Reitisma! But who knows when he'll fall apart! I think the Braves could have at least 4 championships if they would have spent the money on a dominant closer instead of the bats! just a disgruntled Braves fan

He is going to platoon with Trot Nixon. He smashed LHP last year but fanned again RHP. He will start when a left handed pitcher starts and Nixon will matchup again right-handers. So if you want maybe a 3 games a week guy take him. Then again, if Nixon gets hurt he will thrive in the lineup.

Why should I feel sorry for him?  He's the one associating with known steroid users.  If he wants the media to leave him alone, then he should retire.  I'm sick of him whining.  I couldn't imagine how much baseball ratings would decline if he broke the record.

I think one of the only things Leyland is going to accomplish this season is inflating Pudge's ego even further than it already is. How many "managers" are we going to rely on to try to turn this horrid losing season streak around??? I think we need to start focusing that question to Dombrowski and Ilitch. My one hope for this season is that Leyland really stresses the "basics of baseball" and focuses the ENTIRE team on playing "small ball"

Milwaukee is going to have to get rid of Carlos Lee.\nI have seen that all over the place.\nhe is a free agent next year.  and (too bad) Milwaukee will not be able to pay him.  I did hear on a chicago talk show, he is the #1 free agant on the cubs list next year.
