He would not start in the outfield on my team. (hell he would not even come close to the outfield with a 12 range for me) Deliz: If you cut him, you will make someone in need of a DH very happy for a few seasons (As I was happy for the 3B Chacon when you let him go)

I'm fine with 12 range at a corner OF, but I'm not sure Griffin is actually still growing. He has been stagnant all year, and he wasn't treated well in the minors.
