Where is Takatsu?

Discussion in the Ask the Commish forum
Where is Takatsu?
I was just wondering if anyone knew where Shingo Takatsu was? He isn't on the Mets' 40-man roster or any of their affiliates. Is he back in Japan?

Also, what can anyone tell me about Yusaku Iriki pitching for the Mets AAA affiliate?

Takatsu is with the Tokyo Yakult Swallows.

Iriki is 1-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 3 games/3 starts with the AAA Norfolk Tides. [Minor League Stats]

Iriki was given a 50 game suspension by MLB for drug violations, and has been removed from the Mets' 40 man roster. His chances of ever making the team are virtually zero.

Takatsu is not in the Mets organization.
