Giants Re-Sign Kudoh
The Yomiuri Giants re-signed pitcher Kimayasu Kudoh to a one year deal worth 290 million yen (unchanged from last year). Kudoh went 11-9 with a 4.70 ERA in 24 games with Yomiuri last year - Borisov's Pro Yakyu]. He has 212 career wins overall. Kudoh, who turns 43 next May, says he still envisions playing in the major leagues in the future. [Full Story - Japan Ball]

He had the most wins of all the Giants' bull pen last season. I hope he can play on for a few more seasons. I doubt he will ever enter the majors. I highly doubt that a major league team would bother with a 43-44 year old foreign pitcher.

Kudoh is on the cusp of being done. If he had any intentions of playing in MLB, 2006 would have been the year to do it. I think that window is all but closed for him now unless he thinks of himself as Japan's answer to Satchel Paige.
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.
