Now that same owner, in third place behind me by 9.5 points, has offered Griffey for Lackey straight up.  Although I am looking to get another above-average outfielder to complement Sizemore while I wait for Pence to return, Griffey just doesn't seem to be the one.  This owner's other top flight hitters are Sheffield, Glaus, Ordonez, Matsui, Burrell and Thome - though I doubt he'd trade any of those except for Burrell.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My question is this: Would the addition of Griffey really add anything to my offense (where I lead three categories outright, and am in third in two others for a total of 56 points)?  While I know losing Lackey would defeat the whole point of having added Sabathia.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I just need an outside opinion on what you think Griffey and Lackey are going to do over the next two months.</description><pubDate>Mon, 06 Aug 2007 07:28:13 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>charris414</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
