I would think there is a team out there that needs a lead off hitter and could unload someone useful and similarly pricey to us in return. I kinda think Chone needs to hit leadoff, and so long as Ichiro is here, will never really feel comfortable. And when Ackley is here, Figgins really becomes redundant.
Something just tells me that if a team grabs Chone, tells him "you are our leadoff guy" and puts him there, he'll respond a little more quickly..
I enjoyed watching him lace the double last night, followed immediately with an Ichiro bunt hit. Too bad Ryan's shot to right center was caught. Could have been a bigger inning.
