New Pirate Iwamura says knee fine: After a trade with the Rays on Tuesday, the Pirates are gambling $4.85 million, plus right-handed reliever Jesse Chavez, with the hope that 2B Akinori Iwamura will heal from the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee that sidelined him for three months this season. Iwamura, 30, played the final month of the season despite not being fully healthy. "It feels very good, but it's still not 100 percent," Iwamura said, speaking through interpreter Yoshi Hasegawa, his agent. "But I proved last year I can still play at a high level. I think I can play just like I did in the World Series. It will be fine next season, completely healthy."

Fantasy Analysis

Iwamura hit .290 with one homer and 22 RBI in 69 games during the final season of a $7.7 million, three-year contract he signed after playing for the Yakalt Swallows in Japan. He signed with the Rays as a free agent in December 2006. This trade doesn't do much to help his Fantasy appeal, but at least now you know he'll have an everyday job. He's a decent on-base type, but he doesn't hit many homers or steal many bases. He'll likely go undrafted in mixed leagues in 2010.
