So ... who needs scouts?
(just joking ...)
White Sox GM Ken Williams signed Japanese second baseman Tadahito Iguchi after scouting him solely by watching video tape on him. Iguchi turned into a very solid second baseman and second hitter in the White Sox lineup, delivering defense, home runs and RBIs to a team that would go on to take the World Series.
Iguchi’s three-run home run in Game 2 of the 2005 ALDS turned that contest around and gave the White Sox a commanding, two-game lead in the best-of-five series.
