Well I am still scratching my head a bit and bringing back Griffey. He is the pride of Seattle and we will love him all the way to the Hall of Fame of course. I do not think that a few great swings at DH is going to bring them from worse to first status, but sure will bring in ticket revenue. Yes, the fans will now pay extra money to see the dominant player of all time, well at least he was before he left, bat homers off Safeco walls. In fact, they just may fill the stands. I still think that at the end of the day, Seattle still wants to make a playoff run and bring that 1995 season back to the fore. That is some serious dreaming and will need some serious rebuilding as well. Will Seattle be patient this year as Griffey will have to nurse multiple injuries over his amazing career? Yes, I think that they will. He is still Griffey and without him we would never had the new stadium and Seattle would be in Tampa Bay. Now look where they are and where are the Mariners? Are they chasing the magic of old, filling seats or putting together a playoff contender? We will have to see.
