Yeah, exactly, once Ichiros contract was off the books they made a push. They knew it was a boat anchor. We all waited it out, where were you? We're doing the same now with Felix. I don't blame Ichiro much more than I do Felix. He was just about as bad, blocking 1 of 4 power positions, compared to ...

Speaking of tanking, JP Crawford has plummeted back to the real world hasn't he? Still fine for a shortstop, but having that power would sure be a nice bonus. What we're seeing from Lewis isn't far off from what we should be expecting from RF, LF, 1B and DH. This fanbase is soft and accepts mediocr...

When Ichiro was hitting over .300 with his speed and defense he was a very useful player. Once he dropped under .300 with his on-base percentage being dragged down with it he wasn't. Just like Dee Gordon, who has to hit over .300 and have an on-base percentage of about .350 to be useful. That's exa...

10, 11, 12, we all knew the Mariners weren't spending any more because they had too huge a chunk invested in Ichiro's incompetent ass to fill in elsewhere. We were just waiting him out like we are Felix. Just like we couldn't push too hard the last few years with Felix getting paid $25mil he wasnt ...

What you said is that if they fail at first they never succeed. Really. I could have sworn my exact words were, "Most young players, if they fail, are going to continue to fail." I have a funny accent so it probably sounded different when you read it. But seriously, that's a pretty blatant straw ma...

We can have a reasoned debate on this because there are good points on both sides of the argument here. I'm not finding much in this community that I'd classify as reasoned debate lately. There's a lot of talking around points, ignoring points, stubbornly standing firm to things that are factually ...

Sorry, i stand corrected. I had no idea that the 2019 AL All Stars were the only baseball players in the whole entire world and that throughout MLB history there actually haven't been thousands of young prospects who struggled and then didn't become good players. For example, I totally forgot about...

I always used to think the majority of our enlightened fan-base would be pro Ichiro but now I am not so sure. On the old forum we discussed this at length to the point DT was called an old racist. :mrgreen: so this a straight-up poll to ask yay or nay It seems to me it's the enlightenment you were ...

Yeah, and you read where I said I hated his extension, not his first several seasons. Or did you just rush into a fight like seems to be your new norm here? You didn't originally specify the extension or which years. I looked at all the years with the idea of his last 5 years from my understanding ...
