I wonder if it will be one of those 3-ways. (Not that there's anything wrong with that...)

Life just got better for Griffey. :)

1. Manny to the Dodgers.

2. Jason Bay to the Red Sox.

3. Pirates get four prospects.

Yea, why would anyone want a .300 hitting left fielder with 20 home runs?

"left fielder" may be a stretch......how about this - "Yea, why would anyone want a .300 hitting player who can occupy left field with 20 home runs. :p

I'll grant you, on an oft occasion he makes a nice play, but overall, not so much an asset in the field.

If you meant "occupying a space out in a field", that pretty much sums up your whole existence, doesn't it? Hell, they could put that on your tombstone:
