Junior Not Hitting Yet



Ken Griffey Jr's broken right hand is getting better, but he's still not hitting yet, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Griffey has been able to participate in all the other spring training activities. "I'm stretching the tendons," he said. "I don't want to pop a tendon."

Advice: Griffey remains an injury risk as usual--he has not played more than 128 games in the past 6 seasons. If he plays 100 plus games this year, owners who take a gamble on Junior in the late rounds should be rewarded with 20 plus home runs. Monitor his hand through the spring and proceed with caution.
