If you have them both in a 2012, who should stay and who should go???

Pretty similar. I prefer Victorino because of his AA speed, but both will probably post an OPS between .600 and .730 unless you can platoon Victorino

Victorino has value. I would not roster Ichiro this year under any circumstances, and he's one of my favorite players!

Thanks Steve! Dumping Ichiro frees up some $4 to use elsewhere. Just wasnt sure, cause their numbers are so close. But I like being able to put a player in with no injury worries and not needing a replacement for him, yet the $$ allows an upgrade to pitching.

Lev.cohen, I have had Victorino in 2 other leagues this year, playing every day and getting 16 and 18 hr with 40+ stolen bases and .260 avg, so probably those numbers should have answered my ?? for me huh!!

I agree with Steve F. I would not have Ichiro Suzuki on my team under any circumstances this year, and I like Ichiro too. In my opinion he is one of the most overpriced players in the entire set. He might have value at half his present salary,...maybe.

I am presently using Vicorino on one of my teams.

While I agree on Ichiro being slightly over priced...

A. He plays all OF positions
B. He does NOT get hurt
C. He has 30 hit chances BOTH ways.
D. Plays great D with a great arm.

Victorino, vs. RH's, is just plain below average.

Show me another player in this set, at or about Ichiro's price, that has A,B,C & D.

his card is ok I guess, but 4.5m for no power and not much on base, I'll pass. Pagan has a better card for less money if you want CF, if you're talking about playing him at a corner, you give up too much power

I would not want Ichiro Suzuki on my team at 3 million let alone 4.5 million.

Visick makes great points.
I am convinced that both outfield flexibility and "0" injury are underrated by most managers (although obviously not by the pricing system, because Ichiro is still overpriced -- just not as much as some make him out to be)
