Normally, its tough to vote against Bone, but Ichiro has do a lot since being here its tougher not to vote against him.

Very nice matchup here. The two OF with the greates arms in Ms history. Ichiro gets the edge from me because he is able to make better contact then Buhner. Ichiro got the edge on speed, but Buhner got it on power. So, Ichiro get the win!

Ichiro's the better player, but Buhner simply contributed more at this point. If the separation was a lot bigger, than sure Ichiro, but I like Buhner's longetivity and I still remember that catch in Fenway where he went completely over the wall in the OF, full board.

Buhner is that everyday kind of player managers would love to have. From the games I watched, he always seemed to give it a great effort. Ichiro has been extremely good but the M's were able to rely on Buhner for a good while like Fisher mentioned.

[Porter]

Bone was a vocal leader, the heart and soul of this team in the mid-late 90's. He was 115% all the time, led to a lot of injuries. They still have Buhner Buzz night for him too. I went with Ichiro but it was a tougher decision than it was for AROD-Unit.

And Buhner has inspired a couple more Seinfeld conversations as well.

Ken Phelps! Ken Phelps!

Frank (yelling): What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for?!? He had 30 home runs, over 100 RBIs last year, he's got a rocket for an arm, you don't know what the hell you're doin'!!

Steinbrenner: Well, Buener was a good prospect, no question about it.
But my baseball people love Ken Phelps' bat. They kept saying 'Ken
Phelps , Ken Phelps'.
