Wei-Tzu Lin?
Wei-Tzu Lin is with the Tigers' club. I haven't heard of him playing yet. Is he a highly rated prospect? Will he make it to ichi-gun anytime soon?

SanSpo has the odd filler article on him once in a while, but he's not exactly setting the world on fire. I'd speculate that he won't be called up to the top team soon, not because of any lack of ability on his part, but because the ichi-gun regulars are good enough. I can't think of anyone who should make way for Lin. Also, I get the feeling that Lin is in line behind Kida, Sakurai (injured), Shuta, et al for a shot at the big time.

Lin is not a highly rated prospect. He went to Yanagisawa High School near Fukuoka in Japan and thus was not considered a foreign player.
Down at ni-gun, Lin is hitting .241 with 1 home run and 6 RBIs in 36 games.

Suprisingly enough, he made the final Olympic roster for Taiwan. Personally, I'm shocked by the news.

What's the url of the web site with Taiwan's NT players on? I met Chin-Hui Tsao last week and he said he still was not sure if he will be playing for the Taiwanese team.

Check out the Around Asia forum, it's posted there. Someone kindly translated the Chinese into English. [Link]
