The Iron Pigs are thrilled to welcome former Japanese star Daisuke Matsuzaka to eastern Pennsylvania. After Lincecum and Gallardo were taken with the first and second picks, our hopes of signing "Dice K" were slim indeed. Management revised their draft board and were considering other team needs. As time progressed, a small glimmer of hope took root and when it was our turn, we were faced with a dilemma... Matsuzaka, Pena or Gordon. That is a wonderful dilemma to have and we struggled before selecting Dice K with the eleventh pick. Our hope is that he will step in and fill the long term 1-2 starter postion on our team for many years to come.
Second round pick Josh Hamilton was unavailable for comment, but management offered this statement: Lehigh Valley is pleased to add Josh Hamilton to our team and is doubly pleased that he agreed to work for something other than money. He will be compensated in various "performance enhancing substances". We look forward to a long, productive and turbulent relationship.
