I have to reiterate the fact that I'm geeked out about this griffey trade solely because he is Ken Griffey Jr., one of my childhood heroes. I have no illusions about Griffey's defensive performance, I like the pop he'll bring to the 5 , 6, or 7 spot, and I honestly can't wait to see him in a white sox uniform. It's a mark out moment, kids.
The fact that I've grown more and more disillusioned with Paul Konerko adds to the excitement because this gives an opening to have him sit for a while....Konerko/Griffey are a wash defensively, but offensively I have much more faith in Jr.
