Ken Griffrey Jr. was asleep in the clubhouse in the seventh inning of a recent game and therefore was not used as a pinch hitter in the game.

What I take offense to is that this story implies that he has not been asleep every other time he has been at bat this year.

star flamed out faster than Griffey? Over the past ten years he's
had 2-3 good seasons, but nothing near the monster numbers he
put during his first stint with Seattle. He's a first ballot HOF'er but
all the good work was done early on.

I think Zen's link kind of sums up his past ten years.
