Griffey just can't stay healthy anymore. I thought this would be his real breakout year in Cincy, but it looks like it's over before it even started again.


Per ESPN.com...

Quote: Ken Griffey Jr. will be out for at least six weeks as he recovers from a dislocated right shoulder, the Cincinnati Reds' team doctor said Sunday.

Griffey landed hard on the shoulder while diving for a fly ball during a 9-7 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday, the third consecutive season that he has suffered a major injury in March or April.

Dr. Timothy Kremchek popped the shoulder back into place at the ballpark Saturday. X- rays and other tests found no fractures or major injury to the rotator cuff.

Griffey will try to rehabilitate the shoulder rather than have surgery, and optimistically could be playing again in six-to-10 weeks, Kremchek said. There is a possibility that he might have to have surgery anyway.

"If he had surgery now, he'd miss the season," Kremchek said, after examining Griffey on Sunday. "If we rehab him and he's unable to get back, he still has surgery and misses the season.

"Looking at the tests and examinations we've done on him, I think there's an excellent chance he'll be able to return this year."

-go figure.

The guy breaks down like crazy. I hate to say this about someone but I think he's on steroids.

Why? He doesn't look all hulked up. Compared to alot of players, he looks average.

Because the guy can't go ten days without getting hurt. Again, I hate to say it but you've gotta wonder......
