Ichiro though, was at least a serviceable utility outfielder at the end of his career, who got paid like a serviceable utility outfielder.
He also had a nice little comeback season in 2016 in Miami. Not mindblowing, but much better then he had been trending.
That said, how many of the guys left chasing 3000 right now, could be considered "ticket sellers"?
