Like everyone else in 2000, when the Reds traded for Jr.  I had sky high expectations.  Sadly, it never worked out for Griffey or the Reds.  I'm glad to see that Griffey will get to join a pennant contender, but more importantly, I'm glad  for the Reds that they are finally moving on.  This season has been a dissapointment for obvious reasons, but at the same time, the future for this club looks brighter than anytime in the last 9 years that Griffey was here.  It was time for both to move on.
