Seems our new 2B is seeing the ball really well on his current 4 game hitting streak. Told the Japanese press he's been able to pick up the hand grips of the American pitchers earlier than he's used to than in Japan, allowing him to adjust to breaking balls. Also feels really strong hitting to rightfield now, wouldn't be suprised if he gets most of his extra base hits going the other way this year.

Well, whatever Iguchi is doing it's working so far. He's 5 for 12 with 2 doubles.

Where did you hear this news? Some Japanese sports site?

dude lives in japan, i believe.

Its good to see Iguchi off to a good start. Any word on his fielding?

I got the info off a Japanese news site. No word on his fielding yet, but he seems to be doing fine.

Lets see what Iguchi, does in a couple of weeks.. I really hope he has a good spring and season, it be nice to have some hype of a player here.

It's great Iguchi is doing good so far. Most of the time the threads are on Borchard, Harris, Garland and Timo. If sumone's doing good a la Iguchi things are pretty quiet. Reminds me of the Matrix when they say humans define their existence by the amount of misery in their lives. A perfect world would drive us crazy.

Today was the first I've seen of him and was really impressed. He's a lot bigger than I thought we would be.

Didn't get the watch the game until the 9th inning today. That's good that he is playing well.
