That sucks, I thought he could've really helped us. Not excited at all about going into the season (barring another move) with Lough starting against most righties in RF (with De Aza in LF and Pearce at DH). That's not an upgrade over Nick.

Must not have been a Buck guy.

Problem is there is a pretty fair shot that Rasmus wouldn't have been an upgrade over Nick.

I guess we are getting Ichiro.

Thanks DD. :scratchchinhmm:

This is true. Though would you agree that he would have provided a higher ceiling for 2015 than Lough provides?

Birdland is gonna have to get that "Colby Rasmus: Oriole 4 Life" tattoo removed.

I guess we are getting Ichiro.

Thanks DD. :scratchchinhmm:

Ugh. I would rather go with internal options that give Ichiro ABs.

Alright so who is starting the Ichiro train thread? Someone else needs to because I've been trying to be nice and not get negged rep'd here recently. #iwantafreakingbird
