Jeez, sorry about the pun. But it's late on Friday and I'm ready to head out to the yard.
With Philadelphia in the thick of the NL East race just five games back and Chase Utley breaking his hand yesterday, the Phillies moved quickly, acquiring Tadahio Iguchi from the White Sox. From the official press release; CHICAGO – The Chicago White Sox have acquired right-handed pitcher Michael Dubee from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for second baseman Tadahito Iguchi. Dubee, 21, is 4-4 with a 3.88 ERA (24 ER/55.2 IP), one save and 54 strikeouts in 30 relief appearances this season with Class A Lakewood of the South Atlantic League. The 6-foot-2, 175-pounder has averaged 8.7 strikeouts per 9.0 IP and has allowed just two home runs. Dubee was selected by the Phillies in the 18th round of the June 2006 First-Year Player Draft. He has gone 5-7 with a 4.05 ERA (45 ER/100.0 IP) and 82 strikeouts in 42 games (10 starts) over two minor-league seasons. Dubee is the son of Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee. Iguchi, 32, is batting .251 (82-327) with 17 doubles, four triples, six home runs and 31 RBI in 90 games with the White Sox this season. He is a career .273 (380-1,393) hitter with 39 home runs, 169 RBI and 216 runs scored in three seasons with the White Sox. Iguchi originally was signed by the White Sox as a free agent on January 27, 2005 after spending eight seasons with the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks in the Japanese Pacific League. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Utley is expected to be out around a month, and with no one in the pipeline, the Phillies needed to move outside the organization. Iguchi is earning $3.25 million this season and will be a free agent at the end of the year.
