I think it's a very good deal for both clubs and both players.
Hanshin will use Shoda as a spot or short reliever because they have few lefty relievers. Nippon-Ham will use Kanazawa as a starter or long reliever.

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.

Shohda was the Fighters' number one pick in the 2000 draft. Though he's struggled, and spent all of last year in ni-gun. He has a 24-37 record with a 4.87 ERA in 84 games over 6 years.
Kanazawa was the Tigers' number 2 pick in 2000. He was 3-1 with a 4.78 ERA in 25 games last year.
