Plus it's one of the more unique home field advantages that any team has in the big leagues. Just my opinion... that and I agree with Matty's thoughts.

I think we have taken the 200 hit season for granted for the last decade, its a luxury we have gotten used to. However, I don't see all of those variables working out. As for free agents, it makes the most sense to sign someone to a long term deal i think so I would look at names like Andre Ethier (Left), Nick Swisher (Switch), Josh Hamilton (Left), Carlos Quentin (Right), or Delmon Young (Right). Those are some of the younger names available next offseason, but they probably won't be cheap. We also have some decent options within the system like Wells, or Chavez. @MattyK @lonnie.mathis If Ichiro has a good year and we can get him for a short term contract at a reasonable price, then I would love to have him back.
