Being a Yankee fan Im not expecting too much, he's almost 40 with a 280 on base. However, I think the Yanks could get a couple nice months out of him. Maybe next year too. The stadium will be easier to hit and we may see a few more HR's. The main thing here is that they didn't give up much for him that I'll be missing so it seems like a no-brainer on the Yankees end to me. I like the deal but I'm certainly not expecting vintage Ichiro.
