Akinori Iwamura





Japan's preeminent third baseman over the past few seasons, Akinori's signing was the biggest news of the 2006-07 offseason for the Devil Rays. He won six gold gloves in the Central League, and hit at least 30 homers each of the past three years. "He's a cool cat." said teammate Jorge Cantu after meeting him. "He's crazy...he's going to fit right in."
