AngelasDaddy0427 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 If we do sign Iguchi then Willie needs to be sent down to AAA in favor of Valdez (or traded if we can get anything for him). The more I think about it maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Tadahito can either stay in Japan or come to the White Sox because right now, no other team in the MLB is coming to the party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diehard chisox 1427 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I'm sorry guys, I'm just not sold on this guy. There has been a huge Jap craze in the past few years and it seems as though "one big guy" comes out of Japan every year. Give Willie a shot every day and maybe he's not bad. Let it be known though that I am not a big Willie fan, I'm just nervous about Iguchi. Â Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUGGERNAUT Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Itchy if you're any good then think "endorsements". Shingo is fastly becoming a household name in Chicago. You can ride on his coattails to get "endorsements". You can double your earnings with "endorsements". Don't be greedy, be smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

103 mph screwball Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I'm all for Iguchi. Everything that I've been able to find about him makes him seem like a solid number 2 hitter.  Here are some quotes from onedog31 on the Whitesox.com offical message board. He says he lives in Japan. His comments sum up the opinions I've been able to find. He would absolutely, most definatley be the best # 2 hitter we could have. He would be able to do everything that Ozzie asked and more! Sac bunt, bunt for a hit, move a runner over with a grounder on the right side, sac fly with runner on third, hit and run, steal base, work the count, and etc. No doubt about that. Definately a smart player. He is popular in Japan, not the biggest player, but well known by baseball fans. Maybe like a Shawn Green in America.  Also the move is good for the Asian market: They would inc revenue for the Sox. American baseball is huge in Japan. They sell tons of jerseys, hats, and video games. Most Shingo fans are fans of the Sox now, so I would asume the same would happen for Iguchi. Every Japanese person I ask about who their favorite team is in America, they always say Yankees, Mariners, or Dodgers, b/c of the Japanese palyers on those teams. The Mariners do have a TV contract in Japan. Almost all of their games are aired live every morning.  Yes Shingo is bringing attention to the Sox. I have seen quite a few Japanese people with Sox hats on and always stop to talk to them and they always mention Shingo. He has quite a reputation over there. He is not covered on the news as much as Hideki and Ichiro, but they do show when he completes a save for the Sox.  Yes, Asian fans (well Japanese fans) would be more likely to come to the cell. I actually was in the states for his first save and talked to a few Japanese people there to watch him play. They love baseball, and love their players that play in the states. Even So Taguchi brings fans to the ball park.  I'd love the Sox to get Iguchi for 2b and Cora for Utility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
