halfway down

Quote:

Ichiro, 33, would be just the gate attraction the Giants' need – and the Mariners' campaign to persuade him to sign long-term isn't off to a roaring start.

The real nugget is the idea that the Mariners have already started talking about the expensive extension.

That and Rosenthal seems to think that only a Zito signing or similar level trade will save the Bavasi/Hargrove continuum's jobs.

I'm guessing the Giants have all sorts of washed up has-beens or second rate prospects that could entice Ichiro away. This is, after all, Bill Bavasi we're dealing with here.

I thought those two words were in the filter? Let's try again... Bill Bavasi

Nope, still vomit inducing...

I would need all of Lowry, Cain, and Sanchez to even think about it.

Copied to this board as it may intrigue the Giants fans as well.

I'm amazed that the only post a Giants fan could make about even the potential of getting the greatest leadoff hitter of the era is a trite "Bring Back Shinjo!"
