But don’t get overly joyed if you’re a Yankee fan. He’s not the Ichiro you know and love. He’s headed for career lows in most offensive categories. He’s not the great leadoff hitter he once was with a.261 avg, and .288 obp. With the Yankees lineup he will be batting 8th or 9th as opposed to top of the order. However, he could get a decent boost playing in Yankee stadium and with that lineup. Don’t expect him to steal a ton of bases either, he has 15 this year. With all of that said, with Gardner out for the year, it’s an upgrade in the outfield. It was a good move and he moved from one of the worst records to the best. It’s hard to root against him and will be nice to see him in the postseason.
