So now you want to bench our top paid player for a 40 something year old. Just stop posting, seriously. It's not like Ichiro is some other worldly player. He's not the same Ichiro that was in Seattle.



I know he isn't an all star player anymore. I could give a shite if BJ is our top paid player. He sucks. He doesn't add value. Ichiro had the worst season of his career last year, and still provided a whole win more than BJ provided last year and is projected by some sites to have a better season this year than BJ. Plus, he profiles as a leadoff, which is something that no other hitter on this team is.

Just to clairfy, I'm not saying give up a king's ransom for him. I'm saying if the Yanks are willing to part with him for something, then maybe we should do it and send Schafer down.

BJ on the bench would provide pop and platoon well with Ichiro at times IMO.

If the Yanks are willing to dump him for Cody Martin or J.R. Graham, I say it's worth it. I like Graham too.
