Sandy's broader point, I think, was that Ichiro's LD% wasn't likely to stay 27%...but that isn't, IMHO a lucky LD%...it's a "hot" LD%...he's had a good approach up there and gotten good peripheral results...just not as many hits as he normally would.
I don't think Ichiro's going to finish the year hitting .320...but I do think he's hit like .320 Ichiro used to hit thus far and been unlucky not to get credit for it. I think if/when he comes up short of .320 it'll be because he's aging and doesn't have the stamina to keep this level of performance up all year.
