Guest oldschooler Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 [quote][size=5][b]Griffey activated, will bat third[/b][/size] [size=3][b]Center fielder off disabled list following knee strain[/b][/size] By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com CINCINNATI -- After missing nearly a month with a right knee injury, Reds center fielder Ken Griffey Jr. was activated from the 15-day disabled list before Thursday's game against the Nationals and will bat third in the starting lineup. Griffey, who strained his knee on April 12 while shagging fly balls at Wrigley Field, had spent the past couple of days running the bases at full speed in a final test. To make room for Griffey on the 25-man roster, outfielder Chris Denorfia was optioned back to Triple-A Louisville. Griffey is batting .258 with two homers and seven RBIs in eight games. [b]His chances of seeing action on Thursday night depend largely on Mother Nature. A full day of rain forced the tarp onto the field at Great American Ball Park.[/b][/quote] [url="http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060511&content_id=1448880&vkey=news_cin&fext=.jsp&c_id=cin"]http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/...t=.jsp&c_id=cin[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoBengal9 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Not a chance in hell we see Griffey tonight because of the weather. I'm glad he's back but it could still be a couple of days until he plays because the weather is supposed to stay rainy/cloudy/shitty for the next few days.

I hope he returns healthy, but if he isnt going to be healthy for most of the year and rest of his time here then id prefer not to have him. my wish is that he returns and moves to corner OF or 1B to lengthen his career. He made a nice catch in CF, but 5 years ago he wouldnt of had to dive for that. He makes himself much more fragile by playing such a demanding position on the field. I think Kearns injuries are more work ethic than bad luck. He isnt in very good shape and he kind of seems lazy to me when ive seen him in public and in the games.
