Your thoughts on Ichiro possibly batting 3rd this year?
The man! The myth. The legend. Ichiro Suzuki has been M's leadoff hitter for 1,722 games. We all know he shouldn't be any longer. (Most anyways) Wedge is dropping hints to anyone that will listen that Ichiro could be on his way out of the lead-off spot. Wedge said he hasn't decided yet who would hit first if Ichiro doesn't, nor where Ichiro would land in the batting order. But he...

SWING AND A MISS
