Iguchi Could Return To Japan
According to Yahoo Japan, the Yomiuri Giants are looking into signing free agent second baseman Tadahito Iguchi this winter. However, my translator Tak notes that Iguchi is unlikely to return to Japan if MLB teams show interest in him.
Overall this season, the 32 year-old Iguchi is hitting .269/.349/.402 in 458 ABs. He's been better since jumping to the NL in a trade to Philadelphia: .313/.370/.450 in 131 ABs.
Iguchi is joined by Luis Castillo, Damion Easley, Marcus Giles, Mark Loretta, Kaz Matsui, and Jose Valentin in the free agent second baseman class. He might be the best option at the position and could take a three-year, $12MM type deal comparable to Mark DeRosa's.
