达成三年7.7M（约9亿日币）的合约 这篇文章中更提到2004日美明星塞中岩村优异的表现 他获颁敢斗赏。 http://www.bradenton.com/mld/bradenton/sports/16253254.htm Rays sign Iwamura to three-year deal Infielder earned six Gold Gloves at third base in Japan ROGER MOONEY Herald Staff Writer Akinori Iwamura had an inkling he could play for a Major League Baseball team several years ago when major league scouts began gaging his interest in such a move. But it wasn't until Iwamura tore through major league pitching during the 2004 U.S.-Japan All-Star Series that the five-time Japanese League All-Star knew America was his land of opportunity. Iwamura lined two singles off Roger Clemens during one game and finished the series with a .440 batting average. Afterward, he traded jerseys with Tampa Bay Devil Rays left fielder Carl Crawford. Now, the two will wear the same uniform. The 27-year-old third baseman became a Devil Ray on Friday when the two sides agreed on a three-year contract with an option for a fourth season that could be worth nearly $12 million. "This is a tremendous day for the Devil Ray organization," Rays executive vice president Andrew Friedman said. Not only did the Rays increase their presence in Japan, signing their second player from that country in as many years, they also felt they made themselves a better ballclub. "For next year and for years down the line," Friedman said. While Iwamura won six Gold Gloves at third base during his nine seasons with the Yakult Swallows, Friedman said the Rays will use spring training to decide where Iwamura fits in their lineup. "His versatility is one of the things that really attracted us to him," Friedman said. Iwamura played mostly third base during his professional career in Japan, but said through an interpreter he has played first base, second and the corner outfield spots. "I'm up for the challenge of playing center field if the team asks me," Iwamura said. Which is good, because the Rays might ask him to do just that. "I would not put a specific position on him at this time," Friedman said. "All we've done is add flexibility on the roster. We've added depth. That's a good thing." Where Iwamura plays depends on what happens between now and spring training. The Rays are in a better position to push second baseman Jorge Cantu or third baseman B.J. Upton in trade talks. "We hope to be active," Friedman said when asked about further offseason moves. The 5-foot-9, 176-pound Iwamura, who bats left-handed, hit .300 during his career with Yakult with 188 home runs and 570 RBIs. He hit a career-high 44 home runs in 2004 and had 30 and 32 during the last two seasons, respectively. Friedman said he expects Iwamura's power numbers to decline somewhat in the bigger major league ballparks, yet he also expects his ability to drive the ball in the gap to remain the same. The Rays, who signed relief pitcher Shinji Mori to a two-year $1.4 million contract before last season and subsequently lost him to an injured shoulder in spring training, paid $4.55 million for the rights to negotiate with Iwamura. They are scheduled to pay him $1.8 million in 2007, $2.4 million in 2008 and $3.25 million in 2009. The Rays will pay Iwamura a base salary of $4.25 million should they pick up his 2010 option, or they could buy him out for $250,000 and Iwamura would become a free agent. Those numbers for 2010 could increase to $5.25 salary and $750,000 buyout depending on the amount of Iwamura's plate appearances during the first three seasons. "My goal is not to play in the major leagues," Iwamura said through his interpreter, "but to help this team win." 这篇文章中则提到， 希望达成三成打率，全垒打则以松井和城岛为目标。 http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/sports/mlb/news/20061216ie21.htm 「３割は达成したい」デビルレイズ岩村、会见で抱负 　ポスティングシステム（入札制度）により米大リーグのデビルレイズと３年契约を结 んだ岩村明宪内野手（２７）（ヤクルト）は１５日、都内で记者会见を行い、「打率３ 割は、どうしても达成したい」と强い意気込みを示した。 　背番号は、ヤクルト时代と同じ「１」、「选手にとっての代名词なので、非常にうれ しい。１年目からいただくのは、プレッシャーもある」と语った。１年目の目标につい ては、打率とともに「本塁打は松井（秀）选手、城岛选手を目标に、一歩でも近付き、 追い越せるよう努力したい」。松井秀はヤンキース１年目の２００３年に１６本、マリ ナーズの城岛は今季１８本を放っている。また、守りでは三塁だけでなく、二塁や中坚 への挑戦にも前向きの姿势を示した。 　米报道で伝えられた総额７７０万ドル（约９亿１０００万円）の年俸について、「非 常に高く评価していただいた。金额を见て、笑っていられるのはきょうだけだと思った 。気を引き缔めて练习しないと」とチーム侧の期待を実感。家族に対するサポートを、 球団侧が全面的に认めたことを、合意の决め手に挙げた。 　「非常に若いチームだと闻いている。年下の选手が多いが、レギュラー争いの中で自 分の経験を伝えたい。アメリカン・ドリームをつかみたいと思う」と、意気込みを语っ た。 -- 在奇怪的时刻突然想写blog http://chordate.blogspot.com/ --
