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.

There was one player I had trouble with. I think that Softbank's 4th round high school pick Tu-Shen was called "Ping-Yen" at the time of the draft. Was that a transliteration mistake back then? Is "Tu-Shen" correct? I'm have a hard time tracking down how to write this player's name. Can anyone help?
Finally, I'd like to express my gratitude to Ken D. who entered most of the 2007 salary information. Thanks to his efforts, this is the earliest that the Meikan has been made electronically available to you all.
As usual, if you find any errors that I didn't catch, please let me know.
