Ichiro close to deal with Marlins

... per espn is worth around $2 million. He hit .284 and 15 sb last year and a .324 OBP (better than a lot of other Os players). At $2 million 1 year contract, I dont see why the Os wouldnt do that.

Because he isn't good anymore.

I'd rather give the at bats to someone who is heading towards his prime and has room to improve, rather than a once-great but way over the hill player heading towards retirement.

Because he isn't good anymore.

Because playing with him would be as bad as playing a man short. And we won't have to do that. Delmon Young leading off would be better.

A lot of players could hit .284 if their goal was to hit a slap single between 3rd and short every AB.

Slugged a whopping .340 last year.

Retirement tour, going back to where he started.

We have a winner.

Japan?

Marlins. Not Mariners.

Hope he gets 3,000 hits, has a huge year going to the crappy NL, and costs the Nats the division.

Thread headed to the M.L.B. section ??? O

Would have been fun to see Ichiro get his 3000th hit as an O. Probably wouldn't have gotten the PA though.

I'd rather give the at-bats to weams.

I already suggested that as an alternative to paying Ryan Howard.
