Akinori Iwamura activated

[josh3302]

The Rays got good news today. We actiavated Akinori Iwamura off the disabled list and he will take Kazmir's spot of the 25 man roster. Iwamura is not expected to steal playing time from Ben Zobrist. My guess is Zobrist will be back off to RF and Iwamura will go to 2B. He will not be an every day player right now though. Sort of a good acqusition.

This has actually been good for the Rays in case they try to deal Zobrist. I don't know what kind of contract situation he's in, but his trade value has gone from throw-in to pretty good everyday player. I love when a good player gets a chance, though it's rare.
