Skrmetta will be wearing #62, if anyone's interested.

Anyone know how he is doing so far? Or when he's expected to join the top team?

According to the Rakuten Eagles player page, Skrmetta is listed on the top team. [Link - in Japanese]
[From Editor: Actually, looking at the ichi-gun/ni-gun rosters, he's currently at ni-gun (the farm team) as of March 26, 2005.]

My mistake. Navigating websites is sometimes difficult to understand without knowledge of Japanese, and while you're just looking at URL's. So like it says, Skremtta is currently at ni-gun.

Yes he is definitely on the minor league team currently. He tried out during spring training, so this is no real surprise.
Have you seen any news articles discussing his progress since his surgery and since signing this year?

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.
