CBS' Gregg Doyel: Griffey is a baby
Griffey is the latest big-name player to show his soft side. ... Griffey would be eaten alive in Chicago.
Doc: It just didn't work out
Griffey was the most overtly sensitive star I’ve covered in 20 years here.
Me: Whatever, Griffey is Chicago's problem now. But the Reds couldn't get more than Nick Masset and Danny Richar? AND they're (reportedly) paying at least some (conflicting reports) of the $4 million still owed to Griffey?
Masset is 26. He was an 8th round pick in the 2000 draft. Last year he had a 7.09 ERA and 1.98 WHIP in 39 1/3 innings. This year he's improved to 4.63 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in 44 2/3 innings. He's given up at least 10 earned runs on 18 hits in his past 10 appearances. Very unproven, but who knows.
Richar is 25. Plays second base. Signed as an undrafted free agent by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2001 (he's from the Dominican Republic). He's hitting .262 with 9 homers, 39 RBIs and 11 stolen bases for AAA Charlotte. He had 187 at-bats for the White Sox last season after he hit .346 in Charlotte (he was traded from the D'backs to the White Sox last year). Doesn't look like he walks much. He wasn't on Baseball America's Top 10 White Sox prospects list or anything. I think I would've rather had Chris Getz (also a second baseman).
