Ichiro: HOF?

Ichiro: HOF?
So we have the Chipper thread, I want to know what everyone thinks about Ichiro. I think he is a definite, guaranteed HOF and should be a first-balloter...but maybe some of you disagree.

Ichiro doesn't pay his bills.
(22 May 2009)
It looks like Ichiro doesn't like to pay his bills. He owes a construction company $131,774.25 but is refusing to pay. I will reserve judgment until I hear Ichiro's side but it doesn't look good. Is this another example of Ichiro being selfish and only thinking about himself?

ichiro height
(26 Jun 2009)
Hello, I am writing from Tokyo.
I was in a bar last night and got into a discussion with my friends regarding how tall Ichiro is. So I wanted to ask the experts on this forum.
On ESPN and other major sites, he is listed at 5'11, but I seem to remember him being listed at 5'7 or 5'9 when he first started with the Mariners. It's quite common in Japanese sports to 'pad' their players heights to increase their aura. For example, Matsuzaka used to be listed at 6'2, but i have met him in person and he...

Let's put to rest this Ichiro is selfish because of a bunt..
(22 Apr 2009)
I agree with you pessimistic Ichiro haters/doubters/etc. that it was weird of him to bunt last night with one out and a man on third. I too thought, "what the hell?" I then thought after all of these squeeze's we've seen lately (from us and Detroit), maybe something was missed. According to several sources, that's exactly what happened. A couple things to think about...
1. Let's say Ichiro did do it to be "selfish"
We won the game and it could've been disastrous if that run would've meant someth...

Ichiro is really pissing me off
(22 Apr 2009)
That steal attempt down by 5 runs is the final straw for me. He does whatever he wants whenever he
wants without thinking about the game situation. It almost seems like he is trying to make a point that he
is bigger than the team. Let's trade him and try to get something for him ... I am done with him.

What do you think about this team?
(02 Jul 2009)
I know it's not the best team we have ever had here.... but I am developing a special affection for this team. The young guys are all gritty, I like watching Branyan, Guttierrez, and Lopez develop into stars...It's great to have Griffey back, Ichiro has surprised me, I thought he had lost a step, but he is playing better than ever at the plate.... the catchers are frustrating... but we have had that situation as long as I can remember.... the bull pen deserves all praise....I think this team is...

Gutierrez back to the #2 hole?
(04 May 2009)
Now, I know a lot of you don't suscribe to the USS Mariner's thoughts and opinions often. I'm not a big fan of the site myself but from a statistical point of view, they seem to know their stuff and back it up with good evidence. However, I noticed on their main page an article asking to have Wakamatsu move Gutierrez back into the #2 hole. The reason I bring this up is this was my exact thought after the Oakland series this weekend. Don't get me wrong, I think Endy Chavez has done a wonderful jo...

Big trade help needed
(02 Jul 2009)
Big trade help needed
I am in first place in my league. Right now i am last in average, but first in HR, RBI, R, TB, SB
Pitching i am 2nd in INN, K, 1st in ERA, 2nd in WHIP, and 1st in WINS....
I was thinking about offering C.Pena, N.Cruz, and Sabathia for Ichiro, and Youklis....
CC is terrible and i guess the pressure of being in NY has gotten to him. The 2 hitters offer power but kill my average... I still have Kinsler, Pujols, Arod, Hawpe, Ludwick, Morales, peralta, and ethier for power.......
