Our newest outfielder:

Iguchi's 33 years old so his not being in the league after three more seasons at the age of 36 wouldn't be a shock or a surprise.

He'd probably play the three seasons the Phillies offered him and then go back to Japan.

The guy loves San Diego, according to his agent, who said the Rockies offered him a two-year guarantee plus an option (though, presumably, for less annual salary). The Phillies, wanting him to play third base, offered him a three-year guarantee, the agent said. Of courese, signing a one-year deal could pay off for Iguchi as well. The Dodgers and Giants might be looking for a second baseman next offseason.

according to his agent. the agent said.

yeah his agent took less money cause the great tadihito iguchi who was given away this past season in a trade is going to command the big bucks next year

why are you so hung up on who he got traded for?

Jeff Bagwell got traded for Larry Anderson...i guess he sucks too?

[ice grillin you]

because that shows value
same as the fact
that he couldnt get anything more
than a one year ghetto contract
he got traded for a pitching coaches son
whos only in baseball cause of his father

he did a nice job for the phils this year but lets not start sucking his dick
hes a borderline mlb starter

[SunMo]

sometimes you're so wrong it makes me cry

chad durbin comes from the ryan franklin school of pitching. this guy is going to be abortion-worthy.

jenkins/werth should be just fine in rf. werth should come defensively which should make things fairly close to what they were last year.

they still probably arent good enough, but its not like the sewer rats in queens have done anything spectacular to improve that team.

I just noticed that Iguchi's BA, OBP, RBI and HR numbers are remarkably similar to Jimmy Rollins' on an average year. (Clearly not this past year when Rollins lit the world on fire.)

Interesting.

I do not like green eggs and ham
I do not like them in a box.
I do not like them with a fox.
I do not like them in a boat.
I do not like them with a goat

[SunMo]
