I know Ichiro was good mentor and show some veteran leadership. But his record has showed negative sign.

 

Via fangraphs.com, his -0.4 war was listed near bottom among min 300 PA players. 

 

Miami Marlins is not a charity baseball team. So I'm asking what do you think about signing ichiro again.

 

 

Loria actually is a charity, we give him our money and get nothing tangible in return.

 

 

He'll be back. Sorry not sorry but he'll be back.

 

 

Love Ichiro but he has been nothing short of terrible this year.

 

 

They need to keep Ichiro and turn Casey McGhee into some sort of coach. 

 

 

Ichiro wants to return and Loria wants him to return so I'd say odds are high right now but a new GM and/or manager could change that potentially

 

 

I'm not letting my actual thoughts on his playing abilities cloud my judgment about this situation. He's looking for 3,000, he's an amazing teammate, the FO likes him. He'll be back regardless of skill.

Hopefully one that drives away very fast and doesn't come back.

 

 

If Ichiro is the 25th guy on the roster, he's a great fit. Leadership, experience, and so on will help the team a lot more than his play on the field. The problem lies in him making more starts than anyone else and having that .600 OPS in the lineup more often than not.

 

 

I'd like it better if Ichiro and Casey were the 26th and 27th members of the roster. Like they're on the team but don't play. It's their mouths and brains that make them useful down here, not their playing skills. Maybe they could be put on the 60 day DL all year. That seriously would be the best use of them.

 

 

I don't see why McGehee serves any purpose whatsoever, either as a player or a coach.

Because he cried when Matt Duffy replaced him.

I'd cry too if Matt Duffy replaced me

 

 

As a 5th outfielder maybe but he can not be our 4th outfielder.

That's all he'd be I'm sure

 

 

This team won't be competing next season (until they prove otherwise), so I'm all for it.

Dat Muffy

 

 

That's all he'd be I'm sure

 

but then would he get enough at-bats to break the record?  because otherwise meh...

 

he's gotten roughly the same plate appearances as Justin Bour this season, which is too much if his hitting has dropped off this bad.

 

around 66 hits still needed - at the rate he's going he'll need over 300 plate appearances. I mean I love the guy but I'll pass.  It's not like people will think of Ichiro as a Marlin just because he got the final 5% or whatever of his career hits in a Miami uni.

 

 

Tough question there

 

 

Whomever the new manager is will have to have Ichiro on the team whether he likes it or not.

 

I am 98% convinced Loria wants 3000 to happen in a Marlin uniform, no matter how long it takes (Ichiro sucking nuts down the stretch really sucks for the 2016 Marlins)

100% he wants it to happen in a Marlins uniform and is prepared to overpay to make that happen if needed

Ironically he might not have to overpay at all.

 

 

No thanks. He's terrible at this point in his career.

Mariners on line 1.

 

Honestly I think it would be cool for him to go back and do it there.

from what i understand that ship sailed long ago.

 

i guess with the new management in place it could happen.  But then again the ownership remains the same, which was supposedly where the real issues were....
