Rickey got me in to baseball, he was the most exiting player I've ever watched. I even followed the A's for a few years. 89 and 90 were a couple years I confused many people by rooting for 2 division rivals. That blazing speed that will take the base even when you expect it is very rare but very entertaining. Had hopes for Gillies, but he wasn't even close to Nixon. The Mariners could really use that kind of guy in CF and leading off, but he's a SS and I am pretty sure he's an even less likely get than Stanton. And I think he's the only one in the game right now. Soooo...
Back to merely hoping for Paxton or Hultzen to be announced on the opening day club. But I looove that kind of speed.
