Chiba's Lee Hopes to Return
Discussion in the NPB News forum
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.

Lee batted .260 with 30 HRs and 82 RBI last year. Lee said "Making a challenge in the major leagues is one of my dreams, but not this off-season. There has been no offer from South Korea. Playing for Lotte is my choice, there is no reason to leave Lotte if offers from other teams are similar to Lotte's. Lee, however, said he wishes to play first base rather than DH. He said "I would like to hit, run, and play defense." [Full Story - Japan Ball] [2005 Marine Stats - Borisov's Pro Yakyu]
