It's probably Eduardo Rios, a third baseman who played for the Aguascalientes Railroadmen and also in Taiwan.
Rios batted .319 with 31 HRs and 111 RBI this year with the Railroadmen [Minor League Stats]. He batted .293 with 8 HRs and 20 RBI with the La New Bears of the CPBL [CPBL Stats]

Japanese teams are more likely to look for foreigners who have experience in Asian baseball (ie. Lee Seung Yeop, Tyrone Woods) because many of the foreigners coming from the United States have struggled.
Juan Melo also played in Taiwan, with the China Trust Whales. In 19 games, he batted .316 with 3 home runs and 16 RBIs.

Jerrod Riggan has Japanese baseball experience, his arm is now healthy, and had a lot of success with the Tigers. I think it's time to now sign him back.

The Swallows have announced that both Juan Melo and Edward Rios won't be joining the team.
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.

I'm not sure about Ed Rios because he played mostly in Mexico according to the Nikkan Sports article, and my Spanish is 0Original article from Nikkan Sports (in Japanese)]
