Griffey Jr. would answer Atlanta's center field questions
This is just a rumor but wouldn't it be great!
Quote:
Atlanta Journal Constitution columnist Terence Moore said the Atlanta Braves can solve their center field dilemma with Ken Griffey Jr. of the Cincinnati Reds. Griffey would be a solution until the future outfield prospects in the Atlanta system are ready for the big leagues.
Moore wrote: Not only that, Griffey is baseball's cheapest superstar with a highly workable contract. He also lives maybe a seven-minute drive from the Braves' spring complex in Orlando, which would suit the homebody Griffey just fine.
Well, the Braves should do so regarding the younger Griffey after they use some of the money they've saved from their Edgar Renteria trade to acquire a starting pitcher for a troubled rotation beyond John Smoltz and Tim Hudson.
He is injury proned. The best answer which was dicussed in the later part of the season by the Braves' broadcasters was to aquire Tori Hunter. He is a free agent from the Twins.
