Ichiro Resigned Through 2016

9 era w/ .400 baa.

One of Stanton/Ozuna/Yelich will be hurt by May 10th so no problem getting those AB's.

Ichiro pitches better than Cisheck did for us this year.

We're 5 games better without Cisheck next year.

This is ridiculous.

The whole post?

Half?

It's funny that at least one person took me seriously when I said Ichiro pitches better than Cisheck.

[thatnewguy]

Just so we are clear, Ichiro is a bad pitcher.

Just so we are clear, it's spelled Cishek

[Nick]

Just so we are clear, my phone once auto-corrected Ichiro to I Chiropractic.

[Namaste]

Yes, Ichiro is a bad pitcher.

Now that we've cleared that up (and MK7 has pointed out my phones incorrect auto correct of Cishek) can we all agree that retaining Ichiro won't make or break 2016?

[emkayseven]

It won't make it, but it might break it

I have an awful feeling that we'll trade Ozuna and Ichiro gets 450-500 PA.

It's ridiculous I was an idiot and took that seriously.

Even if this doesn't happen, an injury will. In that case, Ichiro should be the 5th OF'er, not 4th.

Well this would be a back breaker no doubt.

I actually hadn't thought about them doing something this ridiculous.

[emkayseven]

I should clarify that I don't think they'll trade Ozuna with the expectation that Ichiro will start...but I do think they'll make a shortsighted trade and say "we got a pitcher/3B back, we can roll with Cole Gillespie/MiLB FA/Reggie Abercrombie type in CF!" and then in May they realize that he sucks and they might as well get ad money/exposure from Ichiro

[Jay]

Yelich to center and Ichiro/Dietrich platoon in left could be beneficial with Gillespie as the 4th OF. This assumes a good return for Ozuna.

[nny]

Am I the only one that hopes Cole is not on our bench? The only thing keeping his line afloat is a high BABIP.

He'd also take the RH spot. Dietrich, Tellis, Rojas, Ichiro...we need someone better than Gillespie for that role

[Nick]

I suggested Gillespie being on the team if we let Ichiro go, but with Ichiro cemented into the bench there's really no point in him being on the club.

[thatnewguy]

Same goes for Jeff Mathis. I know this organization loves him but you've got imagine that with Telis, you'd dump the third catcher.
