THEY HAVE THE CASHen BUT I GIVE THEM THE CREDIT

They have done it again! Why should anyone be surprised? The New York Yankees buy another pennant and a quality player falls in their lap. There should be some kind of rule that says the Yankees can’t play this year, so everyone else gets a chance to win. Ichiro Suzuki is now the Yankees latest acquisition.

OK, he is 38 and not what he was, but the Yankees are just what he needs to be better once again. Being on the club after playing in Siberia, should bring new life to his dormant career as of late!

The speculation seems to be that he wasn’t exactly into the game while playing for Seattle, and with a team with one of the worst records in baseball, why would he be?

Once Brett Gardner was down for the year, the Yankees, like no other team in baseball, made the right move, and got the right man for the job. He just might not be the same man he was, then maybe a little pin stripe magic will cure him.

And what do the Yankees give up? NOTHING! Not surprisingly, they also get $2 million in the deal for Ichiro to help pay his salary. Giving up two marginal pitchers at best for a 38-year old superstar who may still have something in the tank besides his speed and defense, this is a very smart deal. Once again, Cashan has proven his worth to the franchise.

With both Gardner and Swisher down, the Yankees immediately find the right part to fit their machine, amazing! Ichiro will bring some excitement to the game in New York, become a big hit and maybe a following. However, this is his last year on the current contract, will the Yanks resign him?

That’s all I wrote, folks!
