Ichiro = only player to have 200+ hits in 9 straight season.

pujols has a less at-bats and a better BA despite the power

but he can't run, nor has an accurate cannon.

although Pujols can get around for a big man.

Pujols > any other current position player.

Ichiro has only been top 10 in OBP 3 times in his career and his career OPS is .812.

you didn't answer my question lol.

if someone told me "you can build your team around pujols or ichiro, who would it be?", i would have to go with pujols.

he is just more productive.  i dont really care about a player having 200 hits, i mean, its great thing to accomplish, but its not the most important thing.  id rather have someone who can end the game with a swing, someone who can drive in A LOT of runs, and do it on a regular.  players like that dont come around too often...thats why theyre the highest paid players in all of american sports.

if Pujols is the only person to be named in this thread, than that is fine with me.

i agree with the first four, but after that, no lol.

Ichiro is only under appreciated because he plays for such a shit team, no offense 360 lol.

if he was a Dodger or Yankee or Cardnial he would be more highly appreciated for being such such an amazing leadoff man & being on base for people to actually drive him in.

go to baseball-reference


compare Ichiro's OPS+ to any of those 9 - he just doesn't compare - he's a singles hitter
