I see him more in the 18 home run range over a full "healthy" season. He will get plenty of RBI opportunities in the middle of that lineup so I think 85 seems about spot on.<br /><br />I realize I am just nit picking but I think the triple slash is close that you posted but I was thinking more along the lines of .270/.380/.460. Not a huge difference but thats what i got.

Cannot see 211 sticking whatsoever.

I touch on that in the next couple parts of this post how we eventually have to bench or sit Ichiro more and more often. 3000 hits is probably out of the question in the majors so we have to cut our losses and move onDaniel Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212584396848733519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-89708301253282214312013-09-20T20:27:44.720-04:002013-09-20T20:27:44.720-04:00i hope Aroid comes back......he still can hit and ...i hope Aroid comes back......he still can hit and still has a great eye at the plate for walks. funny how he is in the 2 spot and Soriano is the power guy in the 4th spot. if he beatsbthe rap i see his numbers at<br /><br />.285/.385/.500 25 hrs 85 rbisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809061941715645669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-69338520518074632472013-09-20T20:20:54.344-04:002013-09-20T20:20:54.344-04:00one worst case scenario is if the Yankee brass con...one worst case scenario is if the Yankee brass continue to see Ichy as the .330 hitter he once was. what good is he if he has an obp less than .300? he doesnt hit for power and has a scary OPS+ of 76.....24% worse than the average hitter. yeah once in a while he has a four hit game and everyone pees in their pants talking about 4000 hits.....who cares?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809061941715645669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-11442436731589576612013-09-20T17:45:23.275-04:002013-09-20T17:45:23.275-04:00Even with him "not that good anymore" he...Even with him "not that good anymore" he was easily the best 3B we had this season and there is even less available next season via free agency... it would hurt to lose him all season.

He's not that good anymore and they could use his money to sign some free agents. If they don't do that, they could still re-sign Reynolds, who's been pretty good this year. But to me, they'll be opening up their wallets big time this offseason if this worse case scenario does happen. Jack Niemuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09282453928984003497noreply@blogger.com
