He's back!!! Ken Griffey Jr. is back with the Mariners and it seems he will finish his career in Seattle. Fantasy owners, this is a better fit than the Braves. He can just sit in the DH spot and hopefully stay healthy. Also, with less wear and tear Griffey might be able to go back to his 2007 numbers where he hit 30HRs and drove in 93 runs. I can see him being a low 20's HR and driving in 80+ runs.

Mixed leagues, this does not do much for you. I would use a late pick on him. Al-Only should be happy to see him in the AL. He has the potential to be a great 3rd OF'er.

Ken Griffey Jr.

Ken Griffey Jr. of the Reds hit his 600th HR last night in the 1st inning off Mark Hendrickson.

After starting his career in the Mariners organization Griffey moved to the national league and seemed to be on his way to hitting 700-800 homers until injuries found a way to kill his seasons in 2001-2003 and slowly ruined his run at home run immortality. We can only look back and think, only if he was healthy and how many home runs could he have hit.

Congratulations Ken Griffey Jr.!!!!!!

Griffey

Ken Griffey Jr. of the Reds has hit his 599 career home run and hopeful to reach 600 soon. After only hitting 1HR in May, Griffey and owners are hoping he will start to heat up as the weather starts to warm up.

DL Report

Clay Buchholz of the Red Sox has landed himself on the 15-Day DL with a broken nail on his right middle finger. This injury seems a little odd but does make sense since he applies plenty of pressure while pitching. For fantasy owners, this doesn't mean much unless you are in a deep deep deep league or an AL-only league. Look for Clay to be back right after his DL stint is over.

Jeff Keppinger of the Reds is on the DL, as I mentioned in a previous post, and this has a bigger impact on fantasy owners than Clay. So far this season, Keppinger has held the team together by hitting a solid .324AVG, 3HR, 27RBI's, and 2SB's. The injury, a fractured left kneecap, will sideline him for 4-6 weeks. This guy is droppable if you don't have room on your team or if you DL is filled with someone more important. Also, Paul Janish was called up from AAA-Louisville and well I guess Jay Bruce will have to wait another day before being called up. But the Reds would be stupid if they don't call Bruce up soon. With their current spot in the bottom of the standings and with trade rumours flying over Griffey and Dunn, the Reds should give this highly touted and highly proven stud a chance in the majors.
