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.

In the mean time, I've suspended moderation to most of the forums. You know the drill. Please ignore the trolls and spammers and report problems here for me to take care of when I get back. Also, please try to avoid posting significant information under trolls' posts as they'll be deleted along with the offenders. (That is, use the "Reply" link under the main topic or a topic above the offending piece.)
The ryokan we're staying in didn't look like it has an Internet connection. Besides, I'll be outside all day practicing with the kids.
Please be kind to newcomers and help where you can.
I look forward to catching up when I get home Monday night. Hopefully the BayStars will be out of the cellar by then.
