Looks like the players, coaches, scouts group were right. Ichiro hit a home run on Sunday and went 3-for-6 with three RBIs on Tuesday against the Yankees.

Far Eastern Philosophy?
Let's generalize a bit, shall we? All "Far Easterners" are Zen followers, right?

How about "the guy just had a bad month." He has had other months in his career that were not all that good. This time he just had a bad month at the start of the year.

Ichiro is back to his old self - batting over .440 this month, his average is back to .318.

Ichiro's recent productivity has benefited me greatly. In an office baseball pool we are allowed to pick 9 MLB players for a 2 week period for mosts hits. In the first two weeks everybody picked Ichiro. But in the most recent 2 weeks everybody left off Ichiro except me. A typical example of how some people forget the talent of a great hitter with speed like Ichiro.
Matsui has actually been a good pick, too, because he almost consistently gets one hit a game.

Matsui Coming Around?

Matsui's numbers, based on his current 13 for 19 streak, are coming around, too. He's got a very high number of doubles for this point in the season, and if he starts hitting them out rather than just for two bases, he could approach his major league equivalents of .290-.300 with 25-30 HR. His walks are also still on the low side, but if he starts performing at the level I've suggested he can, he'll probably get more of them because he'll get more respect from pitchers.

Poor Ichiro is still in a slump - He hit two home runs and went 4-for-4 last night. He is only batting .347 (second in AL) with 99 hits (first in MLB); and 18 stolen bases (2nd in AL).

Let's hope he can make adjustments and get straightened out.

It's a matter of time before Melvin Mora's stat start to fall.

Larue divides up people into two basic groups:
The fans and media have come up with many theories on Ichiro's slump. The article offers three main theories:
Larry Larue seems to agree with the players and coaches. This article has some interesting quotes, particularly from Ichiro himself, "I can learn from this. I will remember this, how it feels, what I'm going through, and when I go through something similar I will be more familiar with it. This could be nurturing for me."
