witesoxfan Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 03:17 PM) I'm not sure about him never losing that athleticism, but I completely agree about him having value as a contact hitter until the day that he retires. He's Japan's answer to Tony Gwynn. My concern is that the stats that he put up in his prime and his celebrity status in Japan will drive up his asking price to an unreasonable level. I'm surprised that Ichiro hasn't played more CF in Seattle. Of course, I realize that his cannon arm makes him a very good fit for RF, but his freakish speed and very solid anticipation on fly balls would be better-used in CF, IMO. Mike Cameron was a good defensive CF, but is Jeremy Reed really a better option? Or has Seattle just been lacking a strong-armed option in RF in the post-Buhner era? I think they intend on using him in CF this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 QUOTE(BFirebird @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 03:34 PM) This is a very good assessment of the White Sox current money situation. Kenny even admitted himself earlier either before ST or during that a lot of teams put themselves out of contention for next year's crop of FA because of the ridiculous deals they gave this past summer for inferior players. (I.E. the Cubs, Angels and Giants) Some of the potential FA's for this upcoming offseason is pretty staggering: NL: Carlos Zambrano Andruw Jones John Smoltz Doug Davis Randy Wolf Tom Glavine Barry Bonds Marcus Giles Kaz Matsui Pedro Feliz Rod Barajas Javy Lopez Craig Wilson AL: Mariano Rivera Ichiro Suzuki Bobby Abreu Curt Schilling Carlos Guillen Torii Hunter Jermaine Dye Andy Pettitte Jake Westbrook Shea Hillenbrand Joe Borowski Octavio Dotel Jose Guillen Mike Piazza Jeff Weaver Mike Lowell Bartolo Colon Scott Podsednik Huh?...OHHHHH!! I get it, its like "Pick which named doesn't belong with the others!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
