We don't hear his name much, but he quietly has done a good job in Japan. Powell's a guy a team can count on for 200 plus innings a season.

I don't understand. Are things that bad at Orix? Orix offered Powell $3.3 million and Powell declined. Yomiuri offered $2 million and Powell accepted. Why take a $1.3 million pay cut?

Wow, that is strange. I wonder why he declined the Orix offer?
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.

Giants' manager Tatsunori Hara said about the Powell signing, "The acquisition of Powell is very interesting. First and foremost, he can be a key rotation starter for us."
