I'm not saying that he isn't very good, but he's more like a 21st Century Rod Carew, than a Ty Cobb or Stan Musial.

However, his numbers are not as dominant as they have been in his previous seasons, and the Mariners are not doing that great as a team. Ichiro makes this All Star team on past performance and notoriety alone.
