That is the cap on the possible benefits to hitting Ichiro third:  he's not going to get you 110 RBI there, no matter who's in front of him.
Hit Ichiro alllll yearrrrr long at #3, and even if he has a big year, and even if Ackley and Figgins do well, you're still looking at 80 RBI, although perhaps 120 runs scored.
...........
But having him sting base hits around the park, and OBP .380+, and you can afford to hand the inning over to Montero, Carp, and Smoak  :- )
This particular club will need its RBI's from the kids.  But if you can improve Ichiro's *output* as such, that'll fit in nicely, right?
