Ichiro is a completely self-centered S.O.B. in exactly the same way that Parker Brothers is.  They both focus on their own statistics and maximizing their performance internally and they both like to win and hate mistakes and get furious with themsleves when mistakes are made and hate teammates who make lots of mistakes.
I seem to recall Ichiro once stating that he thinks that players who think only of the team and don't think about their own statistics are bad baseball teammates...that you can't be a great player without thinking of your own performance.
Point being...the 2009 Mariners had the quiet, non-ejected version of Milton Bradley in the clubhouse already.  And seemed to do fine.
