Fighters Take Cash for Ogasawara

Fighters Take Cash for Ogasawara
With the Yokohama BayStars taking Kimiyasu Kudoh, the Fighters' first choice for compensation for the loss of Michihiro Ogasawara, the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters have opted for cash from the Giants. Ogasawara's 2006 salary was 3.8-oku (380,000,000) yen, so 120% of that comes to 4.56-oku (456,000,000) yen.

This is a case where it would have been interesting to know what players were available as compensation. There's not a lot of room for debate when you can't fill in the potential blanks on one side of the issue.

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.
