Griffey himself stated that he didn't expect a lot of playing time...he knows he can't handle it physically even if he gets in better shape. Zduriencik and Griffey basically shook on the idea that Griffey was coming back to be a 200-250 AB part time DH, occasional left fielder and pinch hitter (and Ichiro tickler). There's plenty of ABs to give Vlad. He's not a good fielder, but if Griffey is DHing he can handle the corner twice a week.
