thought I saw a blurb on espn on sunday bout Ichiro batting 3rd this year?

I've always heard the guy was a best in batting practice when it came to hitting the long ball.

wonder with his declining speed and on base ability, that he will shift his focus and swing type....

any word or observations on his swing this spring iifold? has he bulked up?
 
pirates lineup

Jose Tabata 9
Josh Harrison 6
Andrew McCutchen 8
Casey McGehee 3
Neil Walker 4
Matt Hague 5
Yamaico Navarro 7

Kevin Correia 1

Extra arms: Doug Slaten, Jo-Jo Reyes

correia has been good this spring, JO-JO Reyes? might as well have me out there though. wish they had first five in spring training



Red Sox lineup:

not sure if pirates are gonna have a DH or not? weird
 
Says Hanrahan, Meek, and Cruz in the game notes...

I hope there's no Jo Jo Reyes sighting today :facepalm:

No DH for Pirates either...

yeah you are correct there. I was wrong. Slaten and Jo Jo were in the notes as "extra arms" and I missed the aforementioned scheduled relievers.

Meek has struggled too, and the other guys have been solid
