We're not looking for a huge upgrade over Ichiro, a marginal one would do wonders.

Nothing to frighten an opposing team.<br />Beltran will block him. Hart, a first baseman / DH, will not.<br />If the team needs to add a chip, to turn a trade, look for him to be included.<br />Otherwise, a bench player.

One thing that stood out for me is; he hits well in 2 out RISP situations, we need that clutch hitting.<br />Bad thing is...Hart or Beltran may be in his way...worse thing is, they will use him and others for trade bait. That is the Yankees MO.<br />Maybe I am over rating him but, he would fit in nicely with a team that has little pop and needs clutch hitting.ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-11201681465969501282013-11-29T09:58:07.234-05:002013-11-29T09:58:07.234-05:00Phil Linz was the one playing the harmonica on the...Phil Linz was the one playing the harmonica on the team bus!
