January 24, 200521 yr Author Finally done helping you people with iguchi news. It's tough find this information. Anyways, no more poor translation we got him and now time for me to sleep.
January 24, 200521 yr QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 09:10 AM) I know, I wasn't having a go at you personally. I'm just saying people had double standards when it came to that term, only a month ago people wanted KW fired, and now he's done a great job, and made the moves that he's had to make. And yes we've broken it first here, well a White Sox related site anyways, there's no mention on WSI. There's no irony our double standards with our (Williams bashers) noted complaints. Last offseason completely altered our confidence in this organization. When Walker was signed, insulting Williams was merely a joke. However, following Jaret Wright's departure from Free Agency "flying under the radar" became a target for criticism. I've apologized before and acknowledged offseason needs were fulfilled. Personally, it's irritating when someone says "And some people STILL will have something to complain about..," but I understand how many were irritated with criticism before Williams' spree of signings/trades. EDIT: Behold the glory of Soxtalk.
January 24, 200521 yr He still has to undertake a physical though. Hopefully nothing will come up with that shoulder, that he had surgery on back in 2002. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> His shoulder surgery was in 2000 but I agree with your sentiment.
January 24, 200521 yr so the spheres arent better in chicago???? good signing kenny!!! Its nice when there are no other bidders.

January 24, 200521 yr QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 02:27 AM) His shoulder surgery was in 2000 but I agree with your sentiment. My bad, I'm getting that mixed up with the shoulder flareup that hampered him in 2002, basically destroying that season and his stats.
January 24, 200521 yr My bad, I'm getting that mixed up with the shoulder flareup that hampered him in 2002, basically destroying that season and his stats. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, if you look at his fielding stats from the link in my sig you will see that he stopped playing SS in 2000 and switch to 2B in 2001.
January 24, 200521 yr Sorry to be a stick in the mud, but I'm going to wait for official confirmation before I pencil him into the 2 slot in the lineup and second base. I hope it's true, I REALLY hope it's true, but I'll wait for KW to announce it. I was going to try to write that in a style mocking that original translation, but I can't even write that confusingly.....only SS2k5 can....

At least the article is definitely from a legiminate source. I'll guess we'll just have to wait for KW though since we know the likes of Bruce aren't really going to add anything of value to the subject.

"Baseball: Iguchi reaches agreement to join White Sox" http://asia.news.yahoo.com/050124/kyodo/d87qer781.html It's alot easier to read than the one about Moth Men.
January 24, 200521 yr is there any official confirmation of this yet? If so, Kenny Williams has indeed rebuilt this ballclub very nicely. if we can get Frank back by early June, the Sox should be in business.

Pods Iguchi Dye (I still want Rowand here) Frank Paulie A-row Pyrz Uribe Crede damn thats amazing... we can run, we can hit, we can even field. This is probably the best ALL-AROUND team KW has ever given us. MAJOR PROPS!

LF Podsednik 2B Iguchi RF Dye 1B Konerko DH Everett CF Rowand C Pierzynski 3B Crede SS Uribe

Come one and make the news official!!!

For once you won't here me rip on KW for this signing.. I commend him for this.
January 24, 200521 yr Another runner on the base paths. With Pods, Tad, and Konerko, burning up the paths, it's going to be a whole different look around the ballpark. I feel bad for the fireworks vendor, their orders may be cut in half next season.

January 24, 200521 yr I'd rather hear it from Kenny or JR or Southsider, because if Southsider says it, it must be true <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I doubt Kenny will confirm the signing until Iguchi passes his physical today (if he's taking it today).
January 24, 200521 yr Wow, coming home from class to see this news is awesome. We didn't overpay and willie harris is not going to stat, that's all i can ask for. KW for president. how long till opening day, i'm pumped
January 24, 200521 yr This def gives us a better 1-2, as well as eliminating some more black hole at the bottom, good signing!!! UNless.....what if he fails the physical??
