Competition for Ken
The Atlanta Braves are competing with the Seattle Mariners for the services of Ken Griffey, Jr.
Atlanta apparently wants Griffey to platoon in left field. With the Mariners, he'd likely be limited to designated-hitter duty.
As the left-handed part of the platoon, Ken would get plenty of playing time and a decent amount of rest. It does sound like a good situation for him. The Braves received little power from left field last season, the group combining for a .352 slugging percentage.
