Tigers lose players
Tigers failed in their attempt to sign Nakata who will now play for Softbank. Tsuruoka is not going to move and Kubo has decided to switch teams. He will join DeNA BayStars from next season. Tigers are going to have to rely on their under-prepared younger pitchers. Definitely time to sack Nakanishi - the useless pitching coach.

I would think that things are looking bright with the signing of closer Oh from Korea. Untried, sure. But he's got to be better than having Kubo at the end of a game.

Agreed if he adjusts well - though Fukuhara also did relatively well in the closer role. Kubo was going to return to the starting rotation and Tigers now have a problem here having messed up in their development of the younger pitchers. They are short of possibly three starters now.

There is a lot of potential among the young pitchers. Maybe this will be the opportunity to actually stick with them and let them develop rather than sending them down to 2-gun every time they give up a lead or more than a couple runs in a start.

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.
