Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 06:27 PM) I HATE THE f***ING YANKEES. Why? The Yankees just added the Japanese Juan Pierre. It's not that big a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 06:24 PM) Good for Seattle. They aren't obligated to offer a good will contract to a player whose good playing days are very much past. Hope we aren't saying that about Konerko in 14 months.

Cali Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 That's crazy that he could in theory start tonight for the Yankees in Seattle (More than likely happen tomorrow though) Sucks though. Ichiro certainly deserves a shot at a ring but I would have preferred he go anywhere else but the Yankees (and Tigers for obvious reasons) I thought for sure he'd be a career Mariner.

Brian26 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Ichiro might be a different player in NY with some protection around him. Granderson and Jeter batting behind him, he could be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually a good comparison offensively for the last two seasons. Although let's give Ichiro some credit on defense. He can throw Pierre farther than Pierre can throw a baseball.

chetkincaid Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 06:27 PM) I HATE THE f***ING YANKEES. Surprisingly, my hate for the Yanks has subsided a bit in the last few years. I still hate them, but I don't hate them nearly as much as I hate the Texas Rangers or the Boston Red Cubs. I'd rather see Ichiro get a ring before either of those teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 05:40 PM) I just hope he doesn't have a revitalization under the big lights of NYC. Dude loves the spotlight. He probably will batting 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Joe Girardi said in the presser before the game tonight that Ichiro will play LF. Stick the a gold glove RF-er with arguably the best throwing arm in the history of the game in LF and leave Nick f***ing Swisher in RF. Wow.

I actually don't particularly hate the Yankees. One of my best friends is a friends is a Yankees fan, so I probably know their team just as well as just about any outside of the Sox (though thanks to the national media I'm not the only one who can say that) But yeah, going into tonight, of the Yankees starting lineup, Ichiro had the lowest OBP.

One was the 16th rated guy on their list for Baseball America. Pretty marginal prospects. Basically, they're just taking on about $5-6.0 million in salary. The M's even kicked in some money to sweeten the deal. Pretty sure Ichiro had a lower OBP than Viciedo and Beckham, low .280's coming into last night's action.

southsider2k5 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN Dewayne Wise had a .778 OPS for the NYY before being designated for assignment -- better than each of Ichiro's last three full seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
