The Yankees continues taking directed steps to perhaps form the most powerful equipment of history and while they struggle between if signing or not to Manny the Ramirez, they could fill one of the few hollows whom still they have left, nothing else and nothing less than with the acquisition of Ichiro Suzuki like first bat and central gardener.

Ichiro, the batter finer than has happened through the Great Leagues in which it goes of 21st century, it does not feel to taste with the Sailors of Seattle, equipment with which they reduce four years to him and 68 million contract.

From his arrival to the Majors in the 2001, the Japanese has divided equally 228 unstoppable by season and average life of .331.

To the 35 years, Suzuki is lost no the magical touch with the bat nor its extraordinary defensive abilities, reason why to see it like man-prow of the turn of the Bronx, followed by Derek Jeter, is an opportunity that the general manager of the Yankees, Brian Cashman, seems that she will not let escape.

Although nobody discusses the sport aptitudes of the Japanese, but within the equipment many indicated negative, individualistic attitudes to him, as if it only worried about his personal statistics, without concerning the passage to him of the set.

In exchange for Ichiro, Cashman could also give to the Japanese Hideki Matsui and Nick Swisher, who evolves in the first base and the gardens, although the package could also include a throwing prospectus of smaller leagues.

Of step, when yielding to Matsui, left gardener, the Yankees would be sending a signal of their interest by Manny Ramirez, would replace who it in that position.

To the Sailors the change agrees to them, mainly at this moment upon which the equipment is in the heat of reconstruction and the exit of Ichiro would give to major financial flexibility him to take the reconstruction ahead.

If the exchange occurs finally, the Yankees would have an alignment composed by Ichiro (CF), Jeter (FOLL), Manny (LF), Alex Rodriguez

Heh. Yeah, I don't buy a word of this.

1)Ichiro is 35 and may finally be on a definitive decline. He still got on base respectably last year but his lack of power is really starting to do him in. I don't think he'd be that much of an upgrade over Melky/Gardner, at least not enough of one to justify taking on his salary.

2)Ichiro is the face of the Mariner franchise and brings in a lot of revenue from Japan. It's not particularly realistic for them to want to trade him. Matsui could fill some of that void in theory, but what does it accomplish for the M's to do that trade? Godzilla doesn't have much trade value at the moment, seeing as how Adam Dunn and Abreu will probably be signed off the street for cheap.

3)The writer doesn't even seem to be aware that Damon is the Yankees' left fielder now.

Man, and I though Ken Rosenthal was bad. At least the guys he randomly attaches to the Yankees are actually on the trade block.

Nick Swisher, who evolves in the first base and the gardens

wtf? Is he like a missing link?

Is it that he like gardens, and things like Bonsai trees and would appeal to a Japanese fan base?
