Alou v. Griffey

[JC]

No "Other". No "Neither". No "The thought of either choice made me stroke out so I can't vote." Pick one, and own your selection.

I said Griffey. We tried to Alou experiment already. It was fun for a while, but some of his antics got old. And his lack of defense left a bad taste in my mouth. Griffey, if he's healthy, can still be a very productive player.

i didn't vote, i just wanted to say that alou has been pretty productive this year....much more productive than jr.

.289 .367 .545 325 AB

.320 .410 .495 275 AB

 

Much more?

[Roast]

That .410 OBP is kinda hott.

 

Plus, Griffeys contract doesnt make me very eager to get him.

 

I chose alou.

[rocket]

We'd have Alou for one season. We'd have Griffey until 2084 or something like that.

Its sad, that made me laugh.

Alou. Hands down (and washed).

 

Griffey's contract gives albatrosses a bad name. Even the Yankees, desperate for CF help, didn't bite at Junior.

 

As irritating as Alou could be, I have a part of me that feels that Moises really loved playing here, and really, really wanted to win here. It's hard for me to explain, since I wasn't a huge fan of him...Throw in the fact that his contract isn't awful, and there's really not much debate.

I'd take Alou and a couple of bottles of hand sanitizer if I could get them.

I voted for Alou and think he might be the insurance the Cardinals might be looking for in the outfield.

They're both geezers. Griffey is 35. He is a superstar on decline. Look at Sammy So-So. A geezer who sucks, a massive contract. Alou is underrated. Last year, when Ramirez and Lee weren't producing, he helped carry the team. I even wrote to Tribune and said that So-So should be put on the DL so Jason Dubuis can take his place on the post-season roster, and they agreed.

Ooohh... The triangle defense game. I like that.

His contract isn't that bad. Hendry even said he'd have picked up the 2005 option if not for So-So's contract. What I don't get is that Sportmart was still selling Sosa and Alou merchandise in January.
