Phillies Sign Iguchi
The Phillies have signed second baseman Tadahito Iguchi for the remainder of the season, in hopes his depth of the bench will help get the Phillies into the playoffs. Iguchi did very well for NL East teams this season, hitting .389, so his signing makes sense.Iguchi is probably a back up second baseman in the future, unless he can improve at third or first base for 2009.

Domonic Brown Goes to Play Winter Ball; Doesn’t
Tadahito Iguchi was one of the many Phillies players to have an long U sound in his last name. Therefore, he required a minimal amount of clutch hits or defensive plays to have the crowd sound like its chanting “OOOOOOOOOOOO” and give him the “It sounds like we’re booing but we’re not ha ha” treatment that would one day be commonplace for Raul...

Hollow Men
The release of Tadahito Iguchi (now confirmed to be Japanese for "strikes out looking") got me to thinking about San Diego's projected lineup entering the season, and in doing so I realized the Padres were actually a pretty decent team on the corners? but they were downright terrible up the middle.

Dodgers After Iguchi?
With Jeff Kent out for the Dodgers, they have been forced to go with Blake DeWitt, who is hitting .267 with 7 HR in 95 games this season. While that isn't necessarily bad, the Dodgers would prefer to have a veteran who is familiar with the pitching in the league. Although Tadahito Iguchi struggled, one can attribute that to low morale in the Padres clubhouse as well as playing...

Utley to have hip surgery, will likely miss start of 09 season
So, I guess this proves Chase Utley really was injured. Throughout the 2008 season, fans and writers speculated that Utley was dealing with a hip injury that slowed him down and made him less of a player. His early MVP charge slowed way down as the season wore on and most felt it was due to his bad hip.Today, we learned that he indeed was having hip problems because the Phillies...

The Phillies beat the Mets 3-0 as Brett Myers completely dominated New York in his best outing of the year, throwing 8 shutout innings while striking out 10 batters and allowing only 3 hits and 2 walks.
