Stripes Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 The playoffs are out of reach in my opinion, with so few games left to make up that 9 game deficit. Griffey should certainly end up the Comeback Player of the Year, he has a real shot at 40 homers and/or a .300 average. This is why the Reds got him way back when, and without the injury, maybe we can get some pitching next year to make his efforts worthwhile.

skyline Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 We won't make it, but I lov eseeing Griffey play well. It's been a lot of fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalboomer7 Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 The sweetest swing in baseball. I'm glad to see it be the end of August and Grifffey still on the field, first of all.But what really ticks me off is that there play of late will be enough for me to have hope for next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripes Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Griffey is officially over .300. I know there's no way in hell he'll win the award, but if he manages to lift that average into the .310s (not likely) and get to 40 homers, with his already nice RBI total, he'd have MVP caliber numbers. Junior's still got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkendall Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 No way in hell that Griffey gets the Comeback POY? Who would get it then? He was talking about the MVP award, not Comeback. Shesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsfan2 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I'm glad to see this happening for Griffey. If anybody deserves it .... it's him. I personally think he's a shoe in for comeback player of the year, and if he'd been putting up these same numbers earlier, I think he'd have a legit shot at MVP as well.

If anything, the injury prohibited Griffey on his timing and confidence on his hamstring. And I don't buy the team has to do well to win the MVP. A-Rod won in 2003 and the Rangers were 71-91.
