Because average and homeruns are the only things that matter in baseball. That's like saying Russel Wilson isn't a good football player because he has 0 receiving yards and 0 tackles.



Hey now...Ichiro had many seasons above .300...


Referring to the fact of not hitting for power.

Ichrio specifically aims to rarely ever hit for power and his batting style is literally aimed at getting on base.

Wait...How do you define decent seasons? Because he had 8 seasons of a WAR higher than 4. Those are all great seasons...

In my opinion deserves to be first ballot and is a top 10 hitter of all time. Alongside one of the most dynamic fielders of our time.

If he started his career in the MLB and not in Japan, he would probably break Pete Rose's records.

You throw that stat around like no one else hits over 4 war consistently. Look at Murphys War and he never made It as we now see

There is a difference from hitting it once, and hitting it 8 times...

Like Bernie Williams...7 times, Alan Trammel 8 times, Tim Raines 6 times, Lofton 7, Jeff Cirillo 5 times. Don't see any of these guys ever making it.
