I propose we use this thread to periodically update Ichiro's season.
As of April 24, he's hitting .323/.354/.532 with 2 HR.
Also, he's still playing center field.

Apparently he's traded some speed for power this offseason.
Either that or sample size, take your pick.

Here's a sort of on-off-topic question: think Ichiro has a chance at the Hall?
I know you're not big on him but he's been one of the best defensive outfielders since he's come over from Japan, hits a ton, and is eminently likeable. Sure he is overrated inasmuch that people think he's one of the five-ten best players in the league but you can't argue that he hasn't put up Hall-worthy credentials since coming to America.
The reason I ask is that the other day I was listening to a discussion on future hall of famers and out of the five baseball writers interviewed, only one thought Ichiro was Hall-bound.

Off-off-topic: MLB really needs to open up a dedicated foreign wing of the Hall of Fame and embrace their diversity.

thats sorta surprising that only 1 writer picked him, id figure people would consider him a shoe in, he's an mvp/rookie of the year a great defensive player with a plethora of gold gloves.he also has the all time hits record, will probably finish with over 2000 hits over here.
