Fantasy Analysis
It hasn't been exactly the banner start the Mariners were looking for from Ichiro as they moved him from the leadoff spot to third in the lineup. He is batting just .290 with a .325 OBP and 16 RBI in 45 games. Seattle is committed to keeping Ichiro batting third, but he clearly isn't the Fantasy option he once was. He is still a standard mixed-league option, but Fantasy owners should temper expectations. (Updated 05/23/2012).

05/23/2012 00:50 Andrus' two-run 3B puts Rangers on top
Elvis Andrus lined a two-strike pitch into the left-center field gap for a two-run triple, Josh Hamilton made two tremendous catches in center field and added an RBI double, and the Texas Rangers snapped Seattle's win streak at four with a 3-1 win over the Mariners on Tuesday night.
Ichiro Suzuki had his worst campaign in the majors in 2011 as he posted career lows in some significant categories. His .272 batting average was more than 50 points down from his career mark and his five homers were his fewest since coming over from Japan in 2001. His on-base percentage (.310) and slugging percentage (.335) were also way down. Despite struggling in those aspects, though, he was still able to produce with 47 RBI and 40 stolen bases. It appears as though Father Time has finally caught up to the 38-year-old and it doesn't look as though he will be able to return to the elite Fantasy option he once was. But with a young up-and-coming team surrounding him in Seattle, he should be able to still hit for a decent average and steal bases for Fantasy owners. Since he will continue to see steady at-bats for the Mariners, consider Suzuki worthy of being taken in the middle rounds in mixed leagues on Draft Day, and target him a little higher in Rotisserie formats.
