Exactly why Jr. has no business fielding balls.

 

Kenny's big flaw is going after guys year after year, even after their prime. Jr's bat is a nice addition, but his defense is center is fugly.

What a joke Griffey is defensively. He couldn't even bend over for a ball. Hasn't done much offensively, either.

 

But...but... I thought everything would turn around on the homestand?! How there is only one run on the board against Robertson is embarrassing. Especially with the opporutnities we've had.

 

This isn't a team that looks like it should be in first place anytime soon.

Another bad outing from the starter. I doubt the bullpen is going to be shutting down this offense any time soon. On the other hand, the Sox can't manage to score against a pretty awful pitcher.

 

I'm beginning to rethink the Sox being good enough to win the AL Central.

Slight modification, though I don't disagree with your original sentiment. Here's my list of Williams acquisitions who could allegedly, when acquired, play center:

 

Everett (2003 version)

Podsednik (considered before Rowand)

Mackowiak

Swisher

Griffey

 

Hmm.

If Griffey doesn't let the ball get by him, the infield isn't in and if he hit the ball exactly the same, its an easy out. Bad defense will kill you.

 

I hope someone keeps track of the triples we allow when Griffey Jr's in CF compared to when Swisher/Anderson/Wise are out there.
