Here's the thing with Ichiro cards, and that one in particular - he's going to be all contact/BABIP and nothing else. So, you're pretty much subject to the whims of BABIP/batting average fluctuations, especially since he's not going to walk often with that low eye. And especially since the game engine doesn't emphasize contact too terribly much, that Ichiro (and, for the most part, the other Ichiros) is going to struggle mightily no matter what league you're gonna be in and no matter whether or not it's a Combinator card.
