Locke's piece in this mornings P-I would have been unthinkable a year-and-half ago. Hell, even today he will get many complaints. The numbers do not lie though; Ichiro isn’t worth what he’s paid right now. I wonder how Mariner Nation would have reacted to the M’s letting Ichiro walk and signing Vladimir Guerrero in his stead. I have mixed feelings here, because I think Ichiro is just plain cool. Watching him work is one of the great joys of being a Mariner fan. The problem is its not working as well as it did in the beginning

I'm not worried about merchandising sales. I just want to see this team win. Vlad gives his team a better chance of winning than Ichiro.
I have nothing against Ichiro. I just think Vlad is better, that's all.
