Count me on the side of Ichiro. Dude was a generational talent. If only he was hitting in front of this MOTO.... sheesh... Plus swipe 50+ bags. Let's also not forget the Gold Glove D. This talk about MVP during rookie years - Ichiro actually did it.
I would swap Ichiro's rookie year and career moving forward from there for Maniger's rookie year moving forward 10 times out of 10.
Let's not get carried away with a month of hot hitting. Great story. Glad we have him. Excited for his career. Steal of a deal. Etc etc. But no way I disrespect an all time great in Ichiro.
