Nabetsune
Yomiuri are thinking of re-appointing Nabetsune (Tsuneo Watanabe) to the post of Giants' president. Apparently with him playing a more prominent role, the Giants will do better.

- Apparently with him playing a more prominent role, the Giants will do better.

I'm not so sure they will do better, but will be subject to more crictism by him of the team, and scrutiny from others.

Anyway, Watanabe is still with Yomiuri, just not at the post mentioned, as he's the chairman of the Yomiuri Shimbun Group. Also, I would be very susprised that Nabestune isn't still pulling strings and calling the shots dealing with the Giants.

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.
