Welcome back Ken Griffey Jr.

There will be alot of new faces in DFW this season. However there will also be an old familiar one-- Welcome Back KGJ!

When you start thinking about the faces that the DFW fans have grown use to over the years gone are the likes of Barry Bonds (retired from baseball- maybe moving to another house or the Big House!), Alex Gonzalez -injured out for the year, Travis Hafner- cut, Luis Castillo- cut, Jamie Walker-cut, and Mark Henrickson-cut and KGJ-cut. Well in a surprising move DFW redrafted KGJ in the supplemental draft. In a move thought to be more sentimental than smart at the time it was made, the Spurs were very happy with the attitude Griffey has shown since coming to camp. That and the like his card too!

DFW had a 4 minute Press Conference to announce the re-signing of Junior. When asked about why the PC was so short, a DFW offical said, "First it's 'old news' and Second 'the Rookie Draft is half over"! D'OH
