A happy new year Christopher. Good luck to your blog this year. It is the year of Tiger for we Japanese so we are hoping it will be a lucky year for Hanshin.
Good luck again. It would be so wonderful if you could have interviews with Hanshin foreign players. Would this be possible?

A happy new year to you too. I cannot promise anything about interviews as I am not resident in Osaka but you never know.
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.

There are some differences between this list and the list of pitchers being considered for the rotation but none of this is fixed. Expect the lists to change as players do well in Spring training and the open-sen games. One thing that is disappointing is the inclusion of Yano as a catcher - one would have thought that the coaching role would have been more appropriate for him now. It is also to be hoped that Kojima gets included (preferably in place of Sugiyama).
