Around SBN: NFL Owners Vote to Change Trade Deadline

All-Star Game DH


Since we can all agree that Nick Johnson is not deserving of a trip to Anaheim this summer, and nobody on this site would ever vote for that hgh-using has-been in boston, we all need a DH to give support to this year.  Why not Griffey Jr.?  It would have to be the first time a retire player was ever voted in (or probably even on the ballet).  I think this would be a really great way to honor an incredible career that really could have been one of the all-time greats if it hadn't been for some unfortunate injuries.

If this doesn't work, maybe we can get him into the HR derby?  Let me know what you all think.

I want WS homefield advantage so no

In my eyes and many others, Griffey Jr. IS an all-time great.
MLB will probably find a way to honor his career during the pre-ASG festivities.
