Griffey Recovering After Surgery
This headline could have been written every year for the last four years. The Reds insist that Ken Griffey Jr is recovering nicely after hamstring surgery and is beginning to rehab. Griffey tore his hamstring against the Brewers last July.

"I am very optimistic for a complete return to normal activity" said Dr. Timothy Kremchek, who performed the surgery on Griffey's hamstring.

What exactly is normal activity? Him pulling his hamstring again? Griffey hitting .260? Junior playing in less than a 100 games?

Griffey almost fooled me last year. He was having a solid season (or "mediocre" for those of you who have no understanding of the connotations of words) in 2004 and appeared to be on his way to not having a major injury to prematurely end his season. Well, yeah we all know how that ended up.
