During scouting meetings last week in San Diego, the Sox also worked out Japanese shortstop Tadahito Iguchi -- who is a free agent eligible to sign with a major league club -- their interest predicated on whether he could also play second base. But the Sox, who on Monday traded outfielder Dave Roberts to the Padres for infielder Ramon Vazquez and righthanded-hitting outfielder Jay Payton, plan to pass on Iguchi, according to industry sources familiar with his talks with the team. As it stands, Vazquez and third baseman Kevin Youkilis, who has been told to work out at first base as well, will come into camp as the team's primary infield reserves.

I have a feeling though if the Red Sox want him they will do it the Yankee way and throw tons of cash at him and our Sox won't have a chance in hell to get him.

If the price is right I wold give him a shot and maybe Shingo could help convince him as well....

This is what I found on him http://www.japanesebaseball.com/players/pl...sp?PlayerID=970

I didn't see this posted...if so merge it please and thanks. http://www.japantoday.com/e/?content=news&cat=6&id=323127

If PK is in any deal, hopefully the Sox have Delgado signed and sealed b4 then. I could certainly deal with that....

Per RotoWorld Kevin Millwood is expected to soon sign a one-year deal with the Indians. Millwood, who reportedly is traveling to Cleveland for a physical, is likely to get a contract worth about $7 million. Dec. 26 - 10:33 am et

RIP Reggie!!!

Whitesnake Just want we all need...fat old guys in tights screaming... :puke

Willie is going to be the next Royce Clayton....good defense but can't hit a lick...hopefully he will prove me wrong and hit decent.

Plus if any of the Sox pitchers were to win 25 games it sure as hell wouldn't be Garland...

I think as long as Garland is at the end of the rotation, 4th or 5th. He has a good chance to win 15 games....

No worries though... come August the Sox will get Robbie Alomar again!! :puke

so more than likely the only chance the Sox have to get Cora is Joey Cora...more or less. I would bet he will be a Card soon as well then.

I must say that is rather disappointing....

I was kind of wondering, even though I have my tickets already. Is Soxfest already sold out??

I am actually very surprised they gave him 4 years. One good thing out of it is there is one less team chasing Pier now....

Merry Christmas Sox fans: WEEI in Boston has confirmed Jason varitek has accepted a 4 year 40 mil contract with Boston. So The Sox get Miller, Clement & Varitek while NY has the RJ deal fall through and Houston offer Beltran a 6 year 96 mil contract.

Welcome to the boards...

Mike Vick is the best running back to be playing quarterback in the league...

Hey believe what ever you like....I couldn't careless. Bonds admitted to the roids...thats all I need to convict his punk ass in my book. Knowingly or unknowingly...the only thing different between Bonds and Giambi is Giambi was stupid enough to go into great detail over his use and Bariod used the lawyers answer of "I unknowingly"...give me a f***ing break. Have you looked at the size of Barry's head?? Your head doesn't grow after you're in your 30's.

A pain killer that adds on 30+ pounds of muscle??? f*** me I have been using the wrong s***.... that's about as believable as Sosa not knowing his bat was corked!!!

Wait a second.... didn't Bariod say he "Unkowningly" use Roids?? I could have sworn that was in his Grand Jury testimony... so I would say that damn good proof he used roids....JMO

I am missing hockey big time...These greedy bastards are f***ing it all up....

Excellent work there Rex!! Sox could certainly make a solid run at Eck then....and possibly another catcher as well...lets hope so and this will be a damn good offseason.
