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.

Can someone explain to me why Rick short was released? His stats are OK, so I don't understand why?
Was Derrick May injured so that he played only 30 games? In 2002 his stat were decent (136 games, .273 avg., 23 HR, 90 RBI). This was Derrick's third year in Japan. It was also Sikorsky's third year.
I hope they all find new teams in Japan.
