January 21, 200521 yr How many of you are going to be b****ing about this guy when he sucks at fielding on grass, and he can't hit major league pitching?

January 21, 200521 yr It wouldn't be THAT big a story and secondly, I'm not gonna cream my slacks over this guy just yet. Just cuz some Sox fans hate Wille and it fits financially doesn't automatically make it a great idea. QUOTE(Winnin Ugly @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 02:17 PM) I think it would be totally sweet if we can sign Iguchi this weekend when the cubs are having their convention...

January 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 11:39 AM) You do realize that fielding on turf is tougher than fielding on grass, right? I realize that they are two completely different fielding apparatuses. He's probably never charged a ball in his life, which is a must to get runners out at this level.

Borchard got a $5 million signing bonus and he got cut from a Mexican League. :puke
January 21, 200521 yr QUOTE(hi8is @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 11:44 AM) for a guy that has the kind of talent and potential he does... This guy has had exactly two good years in the Japanese league. I believe he went 1-19 against major league pitchers in the Japan vs. MLB classic.

Well you can't blame KW for that. If we sign Iguchi, I don't want to hear anything about KW not getting it done this time around. If we get him, KW's done absolutely everything he intended on doing this offseason.

If we get him, KW's done absolutely everything he intended on doing this offseason. if KW dosent sign iguchi, i give him an A for this offseason if KW does sign iguchi, i give him an A for this offseason kenny has done a great job this year, and iguchi would be a little icing on the cake that could pan out to be a cherry.

I'm sure there will be plenty of people on this board saying that KW wasted money on Iguchi if he fails, namely Anthrax.

I believe he went 1-19 against major league pitchers in the Japan vs. MLB classic. didnt robin ventura hit something like 0 for his first 40+ MLB atbats? just because he didnt have sucess in such a small sample size (19 at bats) dosent mean you dont give him a look and seriously consider his prior accomplishments.... even more so if your scouts are saying he could hack it in the leauge

We're talking about two years in the Japanese league, before that, he did very little. Gabe Kapler is going to tear up the Japanese league; alot of washed up major leaguers have gone to japan and hit well. Our MLB all-stars who went to japan criticized Iguchi for not being able to catch up with MLB heat. Our scouts have invested alot of praise in players that didn't pan out, as have scouts for every major league team. It's hit or miss with this type of guys. Why not trade or sign someone where you know exactally what you're getting?
