Ichiro - 5 WAR
Guti - 2 WAR (a.k.a. the definition of average/mediocre)
Everybody else - 0+   (Fangraphs WAR table for M's)
To be fair, Guti was at 2.3 WAR, which is on the face of it, more "average-solid" than "average-mediocre."  But he's also coming off that 210/250/300 second half, which is a $40 taxicab ride away from mediocre...
........................
As soon as the Mariners acquire any mediocre players -- say, Olivo, Ryan, Figgins at 3B, Saunders, Cust, Smoak as rookie ... Guti goes from #2 player in the lineup to about #7 :- )
Very, VERY feasible for Gutierrez to be the #9 player in the lineup in June 2011.  ... but a good player in any hitter's park...
