For those of you who follow the free-agent seekings of other teams, you're probably familiar with Akinori Iwamura, the power-hitting 3B of the Yakult Swallows, who is probably coming to the US.
It's tough to project Japanese power hitters in the US because there haven't been very many of them. However, I took a crack at it: it's the topic of my Hardball Times article this week.
Enjoy!
