Kinkade, Irabu, Hodges, Myers, and Morel don't come as suprises to be let go, as Hanshin already has said they were going to release them.
Is there any talk of Okada going? Or is it most likely he will stay to manage Hanshin in 2005?

Of course he'll stay. There's no way they'll get rid of a proven kantoku (ni-gun, at least) just because of a bad year. Isn't that the same mistake the Giants made last year?

But doesn't Hanshin always follow the Giants and make the same mistakes?

"Proven"? Is this a new use of the word I'm unfamiliar with?

Well he was manager of the farm team for a couple of years. Won several pennants and two championships down there (most of them when the top team was struggling). I believe that's what torakichi was referring to.
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.

The players said by SanSpo to be in the firing line are: Hiroshi Ishige, Trey Hodges, Atsushi Yoshida, Ramon Morel, Kenichiro Hayakawa, Kazushi Hosomi, Hideki Irabu, Rodney Myers, Satoshi Arai, and Mike Kinkade.
Hiroshi Yagi is retiring this season, and while Teruyoshi Kuji was going to retire and become a coach, he's now decided to stay on. Katsuhiko Maekawa, one of this season's big disappointments (but still with potential) is being kept on.
