If I was running a team I would have taken Griffey over Bonds. Better attitude doesn't hurt, but I'd value a decent defensive CF that can hit .300 over a LF that can do the same. If there's anything OOTP has taught me, trying to find a well hitting CF that can field is a bloody pain in the ass. LF? Not so much.

What about the extra 30 points in OBP? That really adds up over a year. You don't need a great offensive CFer when you have Bonds. Griffey would need more offense in left next to him.
If Griffey does - .296/.380/.568 with +5 runs defensively in center - then you need a LFer of .275/.350/.450 at +5 defense
If Bonds does - .290/.411/.556 with +5 runs defensively in left - then you need a CFer of .245/.319/.462 at +5 defense
I feel like you can find that center fielder easier than you can find that left fielder.
Bernard Gilkey in left vs Devon White in center
btw, I feel like Bonds could have played center throughout the 90's, he was quick enough to beat out Van Slyke there.
