  One of the greatest waste of talents ever. Not that his career is all that bad, but he could have been the greatest of all time. Unfortunately, he couldn't stay healthy and he was mentally soft.

  A waste of talent??? You've got to be kidding me. Injuries do not translate into a waste of talent. Drugs, failure to play hard, and a lack of preparation translate into a waste of talent. Junior did not waste his talent. In fact, his career rates as one of the best ever. 600+ HRs - 1770+ RBIs - 13 All Star selections - 10 gold gloves - 0.288 career batting average. He is a sure fire HOFer and one of the best ever. Could he have been the best? Who knows? Could Mickey Mantle have been the best had he not had injuries and love of fast living? Who knows? What we do know is that Griffey was great and definitely didn't waste his talent.

    WOW!!! Waste of Talent,that's HARSH,Umm injuries slowed his run for the Homerun record and I don't consider Ken Griffey's career a waste..And he is gonna be a Hall of Famer and he did all this during the Steroid Era and get this?? He hasn't used steroids at all..So Good Luck in the ATL,Hold up I thought he was heading back to Seattle though,oh well where ever he ends up playing at Good Luck..

    True that but it's funny though No one has ever said or mentioned his name in the conversation..Of potential Steroid Users.

  With Furcal, Peavy, and now Griffey, it's clear that the Braves shouldn't think anything is a done deal until the name is inked on the contract!
