That sure as hell isn't Ichiro.

Ichiro is currently 19th in OBP
Ichiro was 30th in OBP last year
Ichiro was 58th in OBP in 2008


there are only 23 active players with a higher career OBP


and from 13-23 are nearly interchangeable

He was intentionally walked more times last year than ANY hitter in the AL. So apparently AL pitchers don't think so.
