They've under-achieved this year - especially Olerud (now gone) and Boone. Injuries may have been a factor. Martinez has had it (his knees are so bad my grandma could beat him around the bases), and they traded Garcia rather than lose him. They also imploded their bullpen over the last couple years (Sasaki, Rhodes, Nelson), which doesn't help.
Ichiro is one fast ... Too bad he's just aiming for average - with his swing, speed and the size of Safeco field, he could hit plenty of doubles and triples if he hit line drives instead of choppers. He's an impressive player, though.
