ESPN customarily announced the 2010s all-decade team today. Ichiro Suzuki, who retired from professional baseball in March, has been selected one of the 2000s all-decade team members. 

The team members are as below: 
Catcher: Bustoer posey 
First base: Joey Votto
Second base: Robinson Cano
SThird  base: Adrian Beltre
hortstop: Francisco Lindor
Outfield: Mike Trout, Mookie Betts, Andrew McCutchen
DH/utility: Miguel Cabrera
Starting pitcher: Clayton Kershaw, Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Madison Bumgarner, Chris Sale
Relief pitcher: Craig Kimbrel

The 2000s all-decade team members are as follows:
Catcher: Jorge Posada
First base: Albert Pujols
Second base: Chase Utley
Third  base: Alex Rodriguez
Shortstop: Derek Jeter
Outfield: Barry Bonds, Carlos Beltran, Ichiro Suzuki
DH:Chipper Jones
Starting pitcher: Randy Johnson, Johan Santana, Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez, Roy Halladay
Relief pitcher: Mariano Rivera


Also, there is an expectation if which team could be a winner. 

About the 2000s, their offensive power, including Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez and Albert Pujols, could  be better than the 2010s, plus their defense of the outfield with Carlos Beltran and Ichiro Suzuki would be very solid. Randy Jonson and Pedro Martinez were notable as starters, but they passed their peak. 
On the other hand, the 2010s team has three exceptional starting pitchers such as Clayton Kershaw, Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer whose pitching has an edge over the 2000s. 
As a result, the ESPN made a judgment that the winner was the 2010s.  

I think the series of articles like this are very fun and meaningful in looking back on the Major League history.

When he became the Special Assistant to the Chairman of the Mariners, on may, 2018, he told the press that he wanted to be a baseball researcher. We are interested in how Ichiro is engaging in baseball. I want to support his baseball dream.
