January 26, 200521 yr A Japanese website that has all kinds of baseball updates said that Iguchi postponed his trip by one day, and will be coming on Thursday for his physical. The formal signing would then take place on Friday. Not anything big, but a little more info on the upcoming signing. It even has a quote from Iguchi. Sorry if this has already been posted anywhere. I didn't see it if it has! Japan Ball

I hope Iguchi does do his part and contributes as he says...Here's to the 05 Sox
January 26, 200521 yr I haven't felt this good about a season beginning since 94, sadly enough...or, happily enough, depending on how you look at things.

January 26, 200521 yr ''This is the team I felt showed the most passion for acquiring me. I want to contribute,'' Iguchi said.

January 26, 200521 yr And the REALLY good news is, *IF* Iguchi turns out to be even 80% of what he was in Japan the past few years, we got him locked up for another year at low money, AND have an option at a third year! QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 11:22 PM)
