    If he remains healthy and they convert his position from CF to DH, he has a good chance to pass Barry's 762. That will guarantee less wear and tear on his body to prevent injuries, will prolong his career and also will give him more chances to add to his HR total.

    I don't think he can. He defiantly has it in him and he is a fantastic hitter, but Griffey is almost out of gas. I think everyone is satisfied with the performance he's put on already in his career. I know I am. He could do it if he is here for a few more years but right now he isn't consistent enough to be beating Barry's record.

    It is highly unlikely because he is toward the end of his career and his numbers have dropped since he came to Cincinnati. The one good year in Cincinnati he had was in 2005 where he played in 128 games and batted .301 and hasn't put up the home run numbers. He had 35 in 2005 and has 15 for this season. He's not on pace.

    He's going to be done playing defense sometime soon.

    There is a possibility that an AL team will sign him as a DH. If he can stay healthy and keep his power for a few years as a DH, he might have a shot at it. But I think its pretty unlikely.

    No. Griffey has hit the end. He'll be lucky to get 30 more homers in his career.

    Too bad though.

  • No one will break Bonds's HR record not even A-rod who takes steriods
