Red Ranting
When is Junior going to get injured?
This is Griffey’s 5th year with the Reds and he has yet to finish an entire season. He has averaged 93 games over that span with the last 2 years playing only 70 and 53 games. With the average games played he is due for an injury by July 17th when the Reds play the Cardinals. I just thought it would be interesting to predict the time it would take Griffey to be put on the shelf.

Paul Wilson…
Has never won more than 8 games in his career with a record of 34 wins and 47 losses. He has a career ERA of 4.71 and only 2 complete games. Its only a matter of time until he gets shelled and has a sub-500 record again this year. He has given up 830 hits in 769.1 innings pitched. He was the number 1 overall pick by the New York Mets in the 1994 draft and was supposed to be a member of one of the most promising young staffs that included Jason Isringhausen, Bill Pulsipher, Bobby Jones, and the aging Brett Saberhagen. New York must have had the Kansas City Royals training staff of this year looking after their young arms because they all came up with arm injuries. Wilson may have a career year but will never be what was expected.

Danny Graves…
Is on pace for 77 saves. He has already blown 4 games this year, which would have made his projected total over 85 or so. Graves is so lucky right now that he lost his wallet a couple of weeks ago, which included $1,400, and had it returned to him with nothing missing. That is worth a few saves in my book.
