The 2010 season has seen a lot go wrong for the Mariners, making it easy to lose sight of what has gone right.  Ichiro, predictably, is one of the pieces that did everything the Mariners needed him to do.

Ichiro has quietly hit .336/.388/.438 while playing great defense, something we’ve come to expect from the former MVP.  But 2010 marks another year in which Ichiro, now 36 years old, refuses to decline.  If you’re ranking Ichiro’s seasons, 2010 figures to land somewhere right in the middle with a good chance at being one of his five best.
