Veteran Pickup - Ichiro

[sontensei]

Hey guys wanted to know what you think, sure the guy is old and probably heading towards retirement, but how would you guys feel about picking up Ichiro to show the youngsters how to play a bit:?

[ChiCubsFan]

He's pretty bad a hitting baseballs these days so no thanks.

[davell]

Welcome to the board! Gotta say no to Ichiro though.

[sontensei]

haha yeah he tapered off quite a bit, hmm who do you think would be a good vet?

[bukie]

I don't think they need someone just because they're a veteran. They have plenty of those already, and "showing the kids how to play" is the job of the coaching staff, and they've got plenty of those as well.

[Clem Fandango]

Well they don't have to be like super old or anything. Crawford would be a veteran. Hell, Montero is a veteran presence. I'm not sure they still need one, but if they're looking to land their wise old janitor type who can play the OF... I don't know, Coco Crisp maybe? I'm not really putting too much thought into it nor am I concerned at this point. If they intend to get a big bat the addition of this individual will likely be inconsequential.

I've heard that both Stanton and Harper are old souls.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Just seeing the title of the thread made my heart skip a beat. No thanks.

If we want a veteran, we should really go after Miguel Montero.

The older they are, the more wisdom they can impart on the youngsters. Has Ricky officially retired yet?

I [expletive] loved Kenny Lofton. I'd welcome him back with open arms.

His reaction to the Sosa home run is one of my favorite Cubs things

I was having trouble even finding a video of the home run itself. I found a reaction video but it was a camcorder recording of a TV so it kinda sucks.

Apparently the White Sox are looking at Ichiro. Which is perfect.

wait, so who is the oldest guy in mlb right now?

 

and ichiro needs 156 hits to get to 3000, he'd probably play for free at this point. i wish he'd get it with the mariners.
