Ichiro Suzuki Clubhouse Cancer?

According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer the clubhouse chemistry issues the Seattle Mariners endured last year may have been due to the preferential treatment that Ichiro receives.

J.J. Putz, Jim Riggleman, Carlos Silva, and Adrian Beltre have all hinted that Ichiro was at the center of it all.

Some of the more telling quotes quotes which seem to be about Ichiro include:

"Some Guys Just Get Special Treatment"
Apparently Suzuki stays in different hotels during road trips.

"Take a walk if you need it. If you can run ... just little things like that"
Ichiro managed a whole 51 walks in 700+ Plate Appearances last year.
