He has played center field his whole career until this season.

Yes I do. He is one of the best players to ever play the game. I know he knows he is getting older, he is mature enough not to get up set about it. All of the gold gloves and everything aside he wont get upset. He knows it is easier on his body, and Freel is an awesome outfielder. If you are going to give up your position, Ryan is a good person to fill the spot so I bet he does not feel insulted at all. Griffey Jr. has been my favorite player since I have been a kid.

Yes, but he has also been getting hurt his whole carrier. By moving him to right where he won't have to cover so much ground the Reds are hoping for him to remain (relatively) injury free.
Right Field is generally easier to play than center, and Ken will, I'm sure, realise how this is best for the team.

Griffey is a class act. I think he will accept the position with grace. Obviously center field isn't the best position for Griffey, with all his injuires. Right field will still be able to utilize his arm without making him pull a hammy.

I think the fact he has stayed in Cincinnati all these years means he'll probably do whatever the organization asks him to do. He also has to be so impatient with the losing that if putting Ryan Freel, or someone else, in center field helps the Reds win, he'll do it.

He already has...He is a class guy and will excell in right at least until he gets injured! He was my favorite player growing up and it is such a shame that he has been unable to stay healthy throughout his career. I figure he has lost about two full years overall, which means that he could realistically be at around 630 hrs at age 37 if he had maintained his health...
