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.

Brown-kantoku is glad to have Fernandez's services, despite the "crap shoot" of sending a knuckleballer to the mound. In fact, he was expecting management to say no to the idea of a nuckleballer, but instead got, "Sure, that's pretty cool!"
It'll be interesting to see how Fernandez does this season for the Carp.
