January 22, 200521 yr Didnt a report out of japan said that Iguchi would be coming to the states to be visiting a team. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, and also that Iguchi wanted to sign with a team by mid-January so he could get acclimated to the U.S.
January 22, 200521 yr QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jan 22, 2005 -> 12:02 AM) Aren't you the same guy from California that came up with all those Giants rumors? Durham, Nen!? ...cause, I think you are. EDIT: You also posted this a while back... I just heard Mel Antonnen from USA Today on sporting news radio on Sirius that the Sox offer Iguchi a 3year 9-10M deal.. I dont know if this mean we are going to sign him Fishy. Lay off a bit, Addy. He's probably just posting what he's hearing, nothin' wrong with that. And, it's most likely that the Durham rumor was true -- just because Durham isn't on the Sox now, doesn't mean that things weren't talked about. Like Jim/Steff always say, these deals are always talked about. Rarely do they come to fruition, but I always like when people post the stuff they hear (as long as the people have a good track record, and, IMHO, Winnin Ugly hasn't shown anything that shows he's a liar). Nothing wrong with that, but that's JMHO.

January 22, 200521 yr I hope we sign this guy soon. I don't want to see Willie out at 2nd base against lefties.
January 22, 200521 yr Addision- I also think Steff said that the Durham rumor was true so if reports come out from another city whats wrong with the guy reporting it..
January 22, 200521 yr Take it fwiw in one of the forums on Japanesebaseball.com someone posted that Jayson Stark said that Iguchi is very close to signing a 3 year deal with the sox, I personally haven't heard anything but just posting what I saw, once again take it fwiw.
January 22, 200521 yr From the poker face KW gave at Soxfest, I figured we were close to something with Iguchi. Hopefully the Sox will be able to announce his signing in the coming days.
January 22, 200521 yr This would be a wonderful signing. I don't know much but from what I've heard and read, he seems like a really good 2B.
January 22, 200521 yr Does he compare to any other 2B in the MLB? That would put it in perspective better.

Right when we (meaning the crowd @ Soxfest) asked him about Iguchi, he started laughing a bit to himself. He gave the company line answer, but you know/knew that he was going hard after him...
January 22, 200521 yr I think I'm going to save my excitement until I hear it from Levine, or Offman. I didn't see it on any Iguchi websites. However, I want nothing more than for this rumor to be true. Fingers Crossed.

He's awful, if there is ever a real soxtalk poker tournament he's invited
January 22, 200521 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 06:52 PM) Maybe he tries to be like Ichiro or Yao and be known as "Tadahito"??? I hope not, hate that teams allow players to have their first name on the jersey.

January 22, 200521 yr QUOTE(chisox2334 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 06:58 PM) guys my friend said that its under espn insider about iguchi so please check It's there from a couple of days ago just saying that the sox are interested.
January 22, 200521 yr From JapaneseBaseball.com forums Re: Where Does Iguchi Go Now? Posted: Jan 21, 2005 1:03 PM Reply to this message Reply Posted by: TimC51 Posts: 12 / From: Yokohama / Registered: Jan, 2005 According to Daily Sports [Link] (Japanese language), Iguchi's agent, Richard Moss, has made a new proposal (on 19 Jan, U.S. time) to the White Sox for 2 years at 3 million per year. No other (MLB) teams have shown any serious interest, according to the article. So it looks like it will be the White Sox if they can come to a compromise. Don't think I saw this posted. I usually don't quote message boards but this includes a quote from a newspaper.
January 22, 200521 yr Espn insider i s really not an insider. All they do is collect articles from various newspapers.
