Dodgers could land Akinori Iwamura?

Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker is reporting that the Dodgers could enter the mix for impending free agent Akinori Iwamura this offseason. The Dodgers will let Orlando Hudson walk, creating a hole at second unless they want to give Ronnie Belliard the full time job. While Belliard put up good numbers this, history shows that he is a much more effective role player.

Iwamura hit .290 in 69 games this season (67-for-231) and is a career .281 hitter. The Cubs, Tigers, or Nationals could pursue Iwamura this offseason, but his price is not expected to be too steep.
