A story in the Philadelphia Inquirer today
talked about what a great job Iwamura has done moving from 3B to 2B. They also praised him for adapting from averaging 35 HR over his last 3 years in Japan into a leadoff guy (with 7HR and a .349 OBP this year).
I’m not sure why a .349 OBP was worth giving up 28 homers, but whatever.

True, but who ever pitches 9 innings?
3-4 runs in 6.33 IP is just about mediocre (never claimed Blanton was great)
