Ken Griffey Jr. has put his arthroscopic knee surgery from three months ago behind him and is getting ready for Spring Training. Griffey, no DH for the Seattle Mariners, spent much of last season in pain due to bone spurs but says he feels much better now that the surgery is over. "The Kid" tells the general manager that he'll be "ripped" for the season. Is Griffey's renewed interest due to concerns that old age is catching up and he may only have a few seasons left or perhaps it is due to the Mariners added key guys this off-season to help Griffey get that elusive ring. Whatever the reason, the Mariners look to be a force in the AL West this season. Whether they are or not, I for one and happy that Grif will be back and perhaps we could see glimmers of the past.
This off season, the Mariners have added guys like Cliff Lee, Chone Figgins, and Milton Bradley. Think what you will of Bradley, in the right situation he can still be a great addition to the team. Of course, with Ichiro and Griffey returning, the Mariners could once again be relevant.
