Ichiro can decide when he's done, as far as I'm concerned. Like Moyer, as you point out. Ichiro is such a platypus, he could retire at the end of this season, or still be effective 10 years from now. None of us know.
What we do know is he has surprised his whole career. And he's so talented and unique that we shouldn't be surprised if he bends or breaks the 'rules', stats-wise.
As a fan I want to see him play out his career, however he sees fit. If he's horrible for 2 years, that's OK with me. In the first place, I don't think he'd allow that to happen - he has too much pride and sense of his own abilities for that. But if he's bad for 2 years and still insists he wants to play, I'd let him. Another bounce-back season or 3 after that wouldn't be out of the question.
