Ichiro a Yankee

[ZANYMASTER]

So weird to see him in a Yankee uniform.Lol.Good replacement for Gardner.

I agree, very weird, but very welcome.

With Swish and Gardner out, Ichiro fulfills a huge void. Once Swish returns, move Ichiro to LF and then Gardy comes back next season. Don't even need to sign Ichiro when he becomes a free agent after the season. IMO this was a sensational temporary fix. Cashman earned his salary this month.

i agree, great pickup for a guy on end of road. he could be in stripes next year and they cut jones. i would keep ibanez over jones, but you never know

[ZANYMASTER]

Agreed

Apparently he requested to be traded. So he's psyched to be out of the cellar, and invigorated to be playing for a winner. He looked really good last night.

Love the trade for Ichiro. I expect him to be a monster the rest of the year.

Less loving A-rod being basically done for the regular season. ARG.

They are going to have to move Ichiro up in the order (which they should have done anyway) to help the issue with losing A-rod. SIGH
