Kalapse Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Should have taken that 2 year deal from Colorado. His numbers would undoubtedly be better (he was never going to succeed at petco and the spacious yet homer friendly Coors is right up his ally) and there was like twice as much guaranteed money (it's always a good idea to get as much guaranteed money as possible when you're a 30 something Japanese player in his 4th year in America). And to think there was more than a few people on this board last season who were livid when he was traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Philips Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Iguchi released http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=mlb Do we want him? He did well for us before but where will he play or would he be great off the bench....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Fireworks Man Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 QUOTE (forrestg @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 12:29 PM) Iguchi released http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=mlb Do we want him? He did well for us before but where will he play or would he be great off the bench....... I say if no one else really wants him do the guy a favor and sign him to sit on the bench during the last month of the pennant race. It will keep him in MLB and maybe the good will towards him will encourage him to put in a good word for the Sox with future FAs in Japan. What could it hurt? Reward the guy for his past contributions if he can't land a better job somewhere else in MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a great #2 hitter.. Frank Thomas said he had the softest hands, I guess meaning he could place hit. How many times this year have we not been able to advance the runner.. Tadahito did it so well in 05. We should pick him up and Tomko too who seemed better toward the end of the season............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I would be all for bringing Gooch back to play 2b and move Alexi to SS for next season. Let Alexi lead off then have Gooch hit 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was already rewarded for his past contributions with a WS ring and a few million dollars. Why do we want japanese players to sign her with the attitude of "hey let's sign with the White Sox! They pay people to sit on the bench!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) That's ashame. I hope somebody picks him up. If it was up to me I'd bring him back to Sox. Edited September 2, 2008 by Baines3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Nice, Philly has always been my backup team if the White Sox shouldn't make it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
