That's right, Seattle! Your designated hugge... er, designated HITTER is back for another season with the Mariners. News broke this morning on 710 ESPN Seattle that Ken Griffey Junior has been signed for a 1-year deal, and rumors are that he will be paid $2-$3 million dollars.
Now, while I don't hate Junior, I certainly am skeptical of his value to the team. He hit barely above .200 last year. Jack Z-something-or-other (Mariners GM) even stated in an interview this morning that Griffey's main role will be a clubhouse influence. Really? Couldn't this money have been spent on landing a solid shortshop or bolstering the pitching rotation?
Overall bad move by the GM here.
