Batter Griifey Moves up on the list
Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 587th home run Monday night, passing Frank Robinson for sixth on the career list.

At this time in Bonds Career, Griffey is younger, but we all know about his health problems.. How far will you think he will go down the list? 4th? 3rd? even 1st?

Re: Griifey Moves up on the list
No way in hell Griffey gets anywhere close to first. I think he's having a magical season, but his best days are behind him. He might get 5th, but probabaly no higher than that.

Re: Griifey Moves up on the list
Who's ahead of him? Aaron, Bonds, Ruth, Mays, and Sosa?

He's pretty close to Sosa (only like 15 behind), so even if he only plays one more year than Sosa, he'll probably pass him.

Griffey needs 74 to pass Mays. At this point in Junior's career, that's about three good seasons. Considering he's 37 years old, the earliest he could get to Mays is age 40, and thats assuming he stays healthy. It'll be tough.

I believe 700 is out of the realm of possibility.

It's too bad Griff had so many injuries in Cincinnati. He had 423 HRs through age 30, and could have made a serious run at Hank aaron. He's missed 418 games combined the last 6 seasons (I dont know how many are due to injury and how many are just rest days). He averages almost exactly one home run every 4 games for his career, so add about 100 to his total, and thats an estimate of how many he'd have if he'd stayed healthy. He'd be well past Mays, and knocking on 700's door right now.

Re: Griifey Moves up on the list
look at Griffeys stats when he was in Seattle. He was the sickest player EVER. Its really a shame about his injuries. Although I bet if he stayed healthy he whole career people would hate him or something.

He is capable of another 100 HR's in his career. He desperately needs to be traded to the AL to DH though.

Re: Griifey Moves up on the list
Griffey might be the best all around player I've ever seen. Bonds is probably the best hitter but even though Bonds had a ton of stolen bases and gold gloves, Griffey was a great great outfielder and had certain unquanified intangables ala Derek Jeter or someone like that..

Too bad about the injuries. When he's healthy he still plays well and has the sweetest swing in the majors.
