Any Advice would be appreciated, and i did post to the way it should be posted

I don't think I would do it. Yeah I can see where Uggla is an upgrade over Felipe, but Ichiro is a round 3-4 kinda guy where Uggla is 5-6. Plus I really like the combo of Ichiro/Ellsbury for speed. I know you're getting speed elsewhere as well, but I'd hold onto Ichiro for a bit longer. Plus he's way better avg-wise. So overall, yeah an upgrade at 2B might be nice, but unnecessary. Try looking for power elsewhere, because if you broaden the position you're looking for, i think you can get more for Ichiro.
