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.

You can see Esterlin's picture and more info in Japanese about him on this page from the Hiroshima Carp official Homepage. (Japanese only) For those of you that can't read Japanese, Esterlin is 25 years old, and his favorite player is Miguel Tejada of the Baltimore Orioles.
(Can anyone confirm that the name of the team he played for in China is correct? I did a little searching on the net and Canton is supposedly now known as Guangdong?)
