He tried to trade for him in '05, too. Troubling part is Ken will play center field most days which, for anyone's that's watched his speed go, is a major problem.

He at least gave them a couple of decent seasons at the tail end of things. The big question I have is...why the hell do the White Sox make this deal? And are they really pinning their World Series hopes on a 38-year old playing effectively in center field? Ken Williams has pulled a lot of the right strings so far in his time on the south side, but this one seems like a heck of a reach to me.

Nobody else is... yet. I can't see why Grif would veto the trade. I can't see Grif wearing a Reds hat in Cooperstown. Besides homerun 600 I can't say that I remember anything about his tenure in Cincy. Besides injury and disappointment. It would be like Pedro going in wearing a Mets cap.
