ichiro!
Ichiro got the "Best Defensive Player" honor in MLB.com's 2005 This Year in Baseball Awards. "Seattle finished the season with the fewest errors (86) in the American League and Ichiro was a big reason for that statistic. The Japanese native made two errors in 393 total chances and had 10 assists, the third straight year he reached double digits in that category. As a team, the Mariners logged a .986 fielding percentage, which tied for the Major League lead with the Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Oakland A's. The Mariners tied Atlanta with 86 total errors, the fewest in the Majors in 2005. And as for Ichiro, he continued a dazzling career that's only five years strong in the United States. During his 779 games over five seasons with Seattle, Ichiro has made just 11 errors in 1,819 total chances -- all but eight of the chances coming as right fielder. His .994 fielding percentage is the highest among Major League outfielders who have played in more than 650 games. Ichiro also won seven consecutive Gold Glove Awards while playing for the Orix Blue Wave in Japan."Nomar Garciaparra is in LA and Washburn signed with Seattle... hopefully, it'll be an interesting/awesome season for two favorite teams!
