"Duff Man…Oh Yeah!"
There is a chance the Mariners might trade some of their talent and go into full rebuilding mode. Would anyone here support a trade for Ichiro? Imagine him batting leadoff and patrolling right field at AT&T.
The Positives:
1) Great leadoff hitter/great speed.
2) Great defense.
3) Two year contract (not technically a "rental")
4) His skills are perfect for AT&T and the type of torturous, low-scoring games the Giants play in.
The Negatives:
1) He's 37.
2) Due to make $37 million over the next two years. Need that money for Timmeh and others.
3) Who gets benched? And does his presence mean Belt is stuck in the minors or traded?
4) The Giants' weakness is shortstop, not the outfield.
5) Who would have to be dealt to land him?
Off day tomorrow. Something to talk about. Thoughts?
