Oh lest there be any confusion, when I pointed out he weighed more at 40 in Seattle than at 20, this was not meant as a criticism. This is life. The Cincy photos show he was hardly out of shape his last year here.
Hope those glass houses do not get hit with any stones, fellow members.
If only Junior had worked out and been in better shape. 1,000 HRs for his career? Maybe 1,200 HRs if he roided too? We all know lifting weights and the like stops torn hamstrings and dislocated shoulders.
If only Junior had worked out and been in better shape. Cooperstown would build a wing just for him. Damn you, Junior!

And we also know that most 19-23 year olds don't have to "put in the work" to stay in shape like guys 25-40 for a plethora of different reasons too. So again, I could not care one ounce what Harold Reynolds has to say on the matter, especially when it comes to what Griffey was doing off of the field 10-16 years later.
That is like saying Homer Bailey still isn't listening to his coaches because you quoted someone from 2005 who played with him in Dayton.

Babe Ruth does not approve of the Junior weight criticism.

Even though I was one of the causes of this thread moving in this direction it makes me laugh. I just wish I could've found a way to fit in Adam Dunn's strikeouts, "the trade" (kearns) and the Josh Hamilton trade. This would probably be 100 pages by now.

Oh no, you just did!
Also, it's hilarious that the trade of a bunch of marginal players has the moniker here of "The Trade" ... but the trading of a future AL MVP like Hamilton for a bad pitcher like Volquez is just "The Hamilton Trade." Maybe we should start referring to the latter as "The Worst Trade Since Frank Robinson." Ha.
Anyway, back on track. This thread is about Greinke, right? (I've got jokes.)
As for Griffey, I don't think it's unfair to have the opinion that his lack of work ethic off the field contributed to some of his injuries. We'll never know that for sure, but I can understand why a lot of people have that opinion. If the guy had stronger muscles, a good stretching routine, etc, he might have prevented some of those injuries.
