Hi, I'm totally disappointed in Orix hiring Nakamura as manager. I hope Ohgi has control over personnel. Nakamura wasn't very good with Hanshin (Noda for Matsunaga, LOL). A 321-406-4 doesn't inspire confidence. I thought there were a lot better choices out there.
Good luck Orix, you'll need it.

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.
