Will we see manager Nomura blow-up again and cry like a baby if Takatsu decides to return to the Swallows like Ishii did? :P

Shingo Takatsu has decided to return to the Yakult Swallows.
Swallows' player-manager Atsuya Furuta was impressed with Takatsu's showing at the team's Spring camp.

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.

Takatsu broke Kazuhiro Sasaki's saves record in Japan before heading to the Major Leagues with the Chicago White Sox. His first season would turn out to be his best as he posted a 6-4 mark with 19 saves and a 2.31 ERA in 59 games. However, he struggled in 2005 and was sent to the New York Mets.
