Padres Sign Tadahito Iguchi
UPDATE, 12-12-07 at 9:15am: Iguchi gets "nearly $4 million," according to Krasovic. It's surprising he couldn't do better elsewhere.
FROM 12-11-07 at 10:25pm:
Tom Krasovic of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the Padres have signed second baseman Tadahito Iguchi to a one-year deal. This will give Matt Antonelli time to get a little more seasoning. The second base prospect will turn 23 in April; he has 49 games above A ball under his belt. The free agent market for second basemen is now pretty bleak, with David Eckstein perhaps the best choice.
Now that the Padres' top offseason target Kosuke Fukudome is a Cub, the Padres will set their sights on other outfielders. Mike Cameron and Geoff Jenkins remain the top options, according to Krasovic.

Good move on a one year deal. They weren't going to get Eck at one year and this is way better than paying Matsui for 3 years. Typical KT move.

Make sure that all the Japanese advertising sold in PetCo makes fun of Fukudome.

Now the Padres will have the number one infield in the NL West. If they can get Rowand and either Pierre, Ethier, and/or Kemp from LAD, they will seriously have a shot to go deep in the playoffs this comming year. How about adding the MOOSE as a fifth starter KT!!!
