Brian Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 An anonymous clubhouse insider told the Seattle Times that Mariners teammates were so annoyed with Ichiro Suzuki earlier this season that they considered beating him up. "I just can't believe the number of guys who really dislike him," said the insider. "It got to a point early on when I thought they were going to get together and go after him." The coaching staff and then-manager John McLaren intervened when one player was overheard talking about wanting to "knock him out." Perhaps the goal would have been to knock him around like the rest of the league has done to Carlos Silva this year, but given Mariners' hitters reputations, it's likely that the team could land several blows and still not do any damage. It's not as though Richie Sexson had a chance of making contact. Sep. 25 - 1:28 pm et Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 That whole franchise is just a total mess right now. Still if he was available, I'd love to nab Ichiro in a trade, if the price was right (they' want one of Danks or Floyd surely). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I'd trade for Ichiro in a heart beat and put him in center field and bat lead off. It won't happen but it's fun to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still if he was available, I'd love to nab Ichiro in a trade, if the price was right (they' want one of Danks or Floyd surely). I'd gladly give up Jason Bere, I mean, Gavin Floyd if it netted us Ichiro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Ichiro at 17M a year as a 35 year old, or Brian Roberts resigned for 11-12M a year at 31 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
