Gabe Kapler's Fate?

Discussion in the Ask the Commish forum
Gabe Kapler's Fate?
Do you anticipate the Giants releasing Kapler? If they do, do you see another Japanese team picking him up for the balance of the season? Does he get to keep the money on his initial contract?

- Do you anticipate the Giants releasing Kapler?

I anticipate the Giants releasing Kapler soon. Kapler continues to struggle, while the Giants have Shimizu on the bench. I continue to wonder why the Giants have stuck so long with Kapler, when they have Shimizu.

- If they do, do you see another Japanese team picking him up for the balance of the season?

I really don't see another team picking up Kapler if he were released because of Kapler's struggles so far.
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.
