Ken Griffey Jr. is he done?

Batting .208 with no home runs and five RBIs.

If you were in charge in Seattle, would you select him in the lineup for their upcoming road trip?

At the end of the day, If this is the end, he has had a stellar career and won't be remembered for falling asleep or batting .208 in his last year and nore should he be. Not saying he is in the same class, but look at MJ as an example. Now he has been retired for sometime, he's not remembered for his performances at the end for the Wizards

I honestly remember him more for all the injuries than his perfect swing or great seasons and that's sad.He has been hurt to long without a great season to remember much in my opinion.MJ had a couple of not so good seasons but alway's gave 110 % i just never saw that kind of passion in Griffey.He always takes naps during the games that tells you allot about his lack of passion!

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Don't remind me. I leaned under season wins for Seattle big time but never bet it looking solid as a rock. Think next season will bet all my leans.

Being a Reds fan, I have grown up with the Griffey name, but I was so glad to see him leave Cinci.......You couldnt get him to hustle to save his life.

He should follow Eric Byrnes's example and go join a softball league if he still has the desire to play. Might have a hard time finding a team though, the average beer league team has much higher standards than the mariners and actually cares about winning.
