Ichiro Milestones for 2010

After analyzing Ken Griffey Jr.'s reachable milestones for 2010, it's time to look at the Mariners' other active Hall of Fame shoe-in, Ichiro Suzuki, and the possible achievements we could bear witness to in the upcoming season.

Unfortunately, there are no career categories that Ichiro comes close. That's the down side to being an MLB rookie at the age of 27.

Then, there is only one franchise record Ichiro could set this season worth noting. He only needs 218 more hits to pass Edgar Martinez as the Mariners all time hits leader.

Interestingly enough, Ichiro already holds quite a few team records even though he's only played 9 seasons. Ichiro leads the all Mariners in batting average (.333), triples (68), and stolen bases (341).

Of course, if he reaches 200 hits this year, he notches up 10 consecutive season of 200 hits or more, and makes that record ever so much harder to reach.
