SEA - Ichiro Suzuki not expected to start

- Start date
This is the latest injury report for both clubs. While Ichiro isn't starting I suspect he will still be available to pinch hit in a clutch situation. Lineups are not available yet.

Hmmm. Replacing Suzuki with Charles Gipson RF .152 0 4 is certainly a reduction in initial firepower, but look where he is batting. That puts the numnber nine batter in a great place for Suzuki to pinch hit and have a 9,1,2,3,4 power hitting surge later in the game.
What does everyone else think? I was planning on playing SEA today and still think I will unless someone makes a good case not to.
