Brewers, Padres, Angels, Rockies, Astros After Iguchi
In some ways, Tadahito Iguchi might be a better buy at second base than Luis Castillo. He's getting half the press, but that doesn't mean he's getting half the interest. Iguchi's agent said today that the Astros, Brewers, Padres, Angels, and Rockies have expressed interest. Keep in mind that the Phillies asked Iguchi about playing third base several weeks ago and he said he'd rather sign elsewhere at a second baseman.
I wonder if Iguchi may have relaxed that stance. The Brewers and Angels have third base vacancies. They have Rickie Weeks and Howie Kendrick at second base, respectively. Weeks could be an interesting option in center, and Kendrick has been rumored as part of a Miguel Cabrera package. So Iguchi could theoretically still play second for either club.
The Padres and Rockies just have good old-fashioned vacancies at second base. Both clubs could still fill the spot internally - the Padres with Matt Antonelli and the Rockies with Ian Stewart.
As for the 'Stros, well, Ed Wade has contacted half the free agent class.

Did I miss something and the Brewers announced Ryan Braun is moving to the Outfield?

Melvin's official stance is basically that the Brewers are looking for a true left fielder. However, if they can't get that, they would be open to the idea of moving Braun to the outfield and signing a third baseman. As a Brewer fan, I propose we move back to the AL and DH Braun.

“As a Brewer fan, I propose we move back to the AL and DH Braun.”
As a fan of an AL-Central fan, I would like to voice a rejection to this idea. Your team is too good now and we will only take them back if they are willing to go back to the doormats we knew and loved…

The Twins would be more than happy to move to the NL Central. They haven't had a good DH for something like 10 years.
