Comments on: The Griffey Return http://www.proballnw.com/02-2009/has-seattle-already-signed-griffey/ aka Bleeding Blue and Teal - a Seattle Mariners blog Sun, 14 Mar 2010 03:43:17 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Mariners121212 http://www.proballnw.com/02-2009/has-seattle-already-signed-griffey/comment-page-1/#comment-5040 Mariners121212 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 16:53:37 +0000 http://www.bleedingblueandteal.com/?p=1479#comment-5040 Good luck getting Rios away from the Jays. I recall the Blue Jays talking about a trade last year that would send Rios to San Fransisco for Tim Lincecum. This was rejected by someone(I don't remember which team), but if it was from the Blue Jays side I don't think that we could get him with out giving up at least Morrow and another top prospect. NO Thanks! Good luck getting Rios away from the Jays. I recall the Blue Jays talking about a trade last year that would send Rios to San Fransisco for Tim Lincecum.

Some big name prospects would definitely be in the deal. It would be funny to have Gutz and Rios in the same outfield, because for some reason they remind me of each other a lot and I used to get them mixed up. Hmm..

He is 28, a stud that no one knows much about because he plays in Canada in a division that does not give his team much hope for anything for the remainder of his career. He would fit in perfect in the outfield, and I'm sure the Jays would like to build up their minor league system with some prospects. He is signed through 2014, and I would LOVE to have him, Franklin Gutierrez and Ichiro. With Griffey as a DH, any possibility of this happening? Can we trade for Alex Rios?

I'm torn about this. Griffey is an icon and it will bring a tear to my eye to see him get his well-earned standing-o on opening day...but...if he doesn't perform it will just be painful in the end. :( I deoubt it will be worth more than the Everett deal was. 2-3 mil tops with possible incentives.

He will bring that loose feeling in the club house and build the chemistry. I think he should DH though and have a faster LF. I hope the signing is true :) He can turn this team around, i think.

I just hope we can get maybe a .270, 20hr, 70rbi season out of him, while only playing DH and sitting against tough lefties. i agree, if we are gonna be left with either anderson or griffey, it may as well be griffey.
