I don't even consider Griffey a superstar anymore.
I'm not even sure he's a lock for the Hall of Fame at this point. I guess probably he does, but it's at least debatable, which is pretty amazing for a guy who used to be one of the '50 best players of the century'..
You've got a diamond, You've got nine men You've got a hat and a bat, And that's not all..

He's easily a HOFer, and a 1st ballot HOFer at that. That's not the point though. He won't likely be going anywhere soon.

It all depends on how long Matsui is out. Remember, Sheff will likely be back before the end of may. If Matsui's on track to come back around the All-Star Break, they'll plug Bubba Crosby in there, and that still leaves Bernie and Cabrera as backups. Bubba's maturing into a decent everyday player.
If Matsui's out all year, that's another story, but I don't really see a big trade happening any time soon. In the meantime, I'll be wearing my "55" jersey with pride...
