A Japanese player becomes a Yank

I haven't seen this much excitement about a Japanese player coming to the Yankees since the Rising Sun himself Kei Igawa...hopefully this move works out way better then that did. Even at the age of 38 and coming in with a way below par .261 average Ichiro will bring some speed and solid D to the Yankees. He still has enough range to play left or right field, I'd rather see a 38 year old Ichiro out there then a 40 year old Raul Ibanez any day. I also think that being in a winning atmosphere in a club house of veterans might help reignite a fire to be a better play. It could only be a rental and all the Yankees gave up were a middle reliever and a 25 year old minor league pitcher so its hard to lose here. Hopefully he plays out the rest of the year well and the Yankees seem like the winners of this trade, it might make up for the steal Seattle got in the Pineda deal.
