Age Strikes Ichiro

Is age claiming another victim in the form of the great Ichiro Suzuki?  One of my favorite players, Ichiro is batting nearly 60 pts below his career avg of .328 and can hardly get a ball out of the infield.  At 37 and with 10 all-star caliber years behind him plus his Japanese league days, it appears he is out of gas.  Ichiro brought a unique set of skills to the majors, dinking singles during a steriod era, stealing bases, and patrolling right field with a cannon arm.  Hall of fame with just 10 great years?  I say yes, no doubt.
