I don't know how many of you cast your votes, but the results to the above questionnaire have been tallied.
Total votes: 1,274
That comes out to just about half for a limit and half for either no limit or some other rule (such as not counting players from Taiwan and Korea in the quotas).
If you're interested in the next Shube poll, the question is, "Between Rhodes and Cabrera, who will break 55?" Instruction on how to vote are above, with this being questionnaire #22. They're taking votes and comments until August 26th (JST). For those who haven't heard, Cabrera took the lead last night (August 20) with his 40th home run, finally surpassing Rhodes who has hit 39.
No restrictions: 33.7%
4 foreigners: 24.5%
3 foreigners: 12.2%
2 foreigners: 12.2%
0 foreigners: 2.0%
Other: 15.4%

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
