No thank you.

 

I wish he still had something to offer but you have to squint pretty hard to try and find it. Some extra OF depth would be nice though but it will probably have to come the MiLB contract route at this point.

In b4 "he'd help us greatly draw in the massive Asian population in Toronto"

 

It'll certainly help give the Jays some exposure in Japan though.

 

But I doubt he'd settle with the Jays.

Enough of these stupid Mickey Mouse gimmicks. Get a guy who can still play baseball please.

 

I'm sure the 400 Japanese guys who live in the GTA will be devastated by this non-signing.

Not sure if Toronto would even care about a Japanese guy. Its all about the Chinese.

Remember that time Zaun ripped into Ichiro for not trying to hit more home runs? Called him selfish player that only cared about his AVG

 

I remember Zaun repeatedly saying that Ichiro could hit 20 HR at will. I guess he decided a bunch of slap singles were better though.

Plagiarist

 

I could have deleted my post (or his post)...but I figure people know I'm old, so repeating things is just expected of me. At least I wasn't stealing Silvergun's joke this time, I can take it being V-Dart.

Filler... Denorfia might have been a better fit... So now we are going this Route! Hmmmmm

 

But is not pillar our fourth outfielder already?

 

Do we need another outfielder even?

 

Pillar still has options so it's no big deal to hold him back as MiLB depth. The team is putting a lot of faith in Pillar and Pompey by having them occupy two of the four OF jobs. I'd like a veteran in the mix. Even if that veteran doesn't project any better than Pillar, that veteran would probably have a better floor and it just gives the team more options if either of Pillar or Pompey struggle. That being said, there's not much left on the market anymore and Ichiro should just retire.

I doubt the interest is legitimate. More likely throwing Toronto's name for the sake of throwing a name. If the Jays were interested in adding more depth, they should just try to get something done with Andy Dirks. Probably be cheaper and likely to produce as much if not more than Ichiro.

Ichiro is not completely useless, but on a major league deal? Decent chance he's gone by mid-season.

 

If the news is true it is good though, the Jays should be adding someone reliable in the OF. I thought Eric Young was on the block earlier?

Reliable phft. Didn't you know Pompey is a gunna be in the AS game, Saunders will play every game and Bautista will not get injured. Who needs depth.
