Wedge: Ichiro Suzuki will bat third this year
Mariners skipper Eric Wedge announced Tuesday that Ichiro Suzuki will bat
third this season.
Ichiro has hit leadoff in 1,722 of the 1,749 major league games he has
played. But the 38-year-old Japanese outfielder posted a poor .310 on-base
percentage across 721 plate appearances last season. If his numbers don't
improve overall in 2012, he could slip down further than third. Chone Figgins
will be given a shot this spring to fill the massive vacancy atop Seattle's
batting order. Dustin Ackley seems likely to bat second most games.
去年(38岁)在721个打席中，缴出 .310的上垒率。如果2012无法提升overall，
将会往后推去第四棒(哪招?)
所以...
Figgins-> Ackley -> Ichiro
