...it was also possibly Ichiro's final game.

...in his prime, one of the best all-around players I've ever seen play.
 
I think he will hang around for an attempt at the 3000 hit mark.
 
if ichiro was an american born BB, and was 1 of the best to ever play game, u think girardi would have ever batted him in 9th slot?

...it's possible... but getting to 3000 will be a tall order. He's no longer an everyday player, and being 157 hits away from 3000 it would take him more than one year to get there.
...I don't see him going back to Seattle because it appears they're going with youth...but who knows. He's probably gonna need another 600 ABs to have a chance.

ichiro will hook up with arods connection and will get it done half way through the season

A team somewhere might give him a shot to play often. It's also plausible that he can part time it for two more seasons and get it done. Either way another amazing career when you consider we most likely looking at the all time hits leader if he started in MLB.
 
...yup, would like to have seen what kind of MLB numbers he would have amassed if he had played his whole career here...he may well have passed Cobb and Rose.

Did you check with those 8 voters on that one? Or did you come to that conclusion all by yourself?
 
Ichiro can still boogie with the big fat broad, the man showed more gamesmanship heart and hustle than many of his younger team mates. I wanted the Yankees to make the playoffs and see Jeter and Ichiro come home with shield or on it. Unlike sniveler Cano I don't think we'll Ichiro say he was "disrespected" by Girardi or any prime team member.
 
...^^^ he's lost a little bat speed, but he's still graceful as can be in the OF, still has a great arm too...and still runs the bases well.

...he doesn't complain, doesn't argue, he just does his job...a consummate professional.
 
...no, actually, the only ones who "have to stop and look" are the weak-minded individuals.

...but if you look in the upper left corner of your browser you'll see this little thingy that looks like an arrow to the left...it's called a back button...try using it.
...if that doesn't work for you. this site has an "ignore" feature...set it, and my posts won't even show...cool huh?

...no, you hit a funny bone actually.

...can't figure out the "back" button or "ignore" thingy, eh?
 
Psychological studies have shown that slowing to watch an accident coorelates inversely proportional to IQ. I know that is a tough sentence for trolls to read, let me break that down....the dumber you are, the more likely you will slow to watch an accident and further impede the flow of traffic.

I'm really hoping that some team gives him a shot.
 
...I think he'll only be away from the game a short time after taking a well deserved rest. I wouldn't be surprise to see him put together a ownership group and take over the Rays. He lives there and needless to say, he's very popular there too, plus I'm sure MLB wants to have Jeter as a part of it's image.
...also love to see him eventually take over the Yanx some day down the road...but for now, I don't see the Steins selling.
 
I would bet Jeter won't be a part owner of the Rays in any way- but I would really like to see him in the dugout managing the Yankees. I don't know if he's interested in managing but wouldn't it be something really special to have a great Yankee captain taking over the reigns in the dugout and winning a WS or two?

Has it ever happened before? A great player from a team managing them after he retired to a championship/s?

I get the feeling Jeter would be a good manager.
Jeter had/has that way about him not being a rah rah guy but getting respect and making players want to play well around him...and in this case, as a manager, FOR him.
He would just give them the look...his presence demands players to play smart and hard.

I don't think you'll ever see Jeter managing, he himself has said he has no interest in doing so. Also I really can't see him as a manager. I mean never getting thrown out of a game, or ever arguing with an umpire can you really see him coming out of the dugout to argue for his players? I can't.
