No doubt in my mind Ichiro is inducted into the HOF someday. A .330 lifetime Avg. in MLB and 246 hits per year puts him on the road to the HOF. If he players anotherfive years, he'll make, I guarantee...

A carrer 117 OPS+ is pretty pederstrian and no where near HOF level

It's just as good, if not better than these HOFamers OPS+:
Nellie Fox 93
Carlton Fisk 117
Robin Yount 115
Richie Ashburn 111
Red Schoendienst 93
Lou Brock 109
Luis Aparicio 82
There are probably many more HOFamers with lower OPS+, but I didn't have time to find them. I don't believe this reason for Ichiro not to make the HOF has enough merit.
