The new outfielder

Discussion in the Tiger Tails forum
The new outfielder
Baldris from the development squad has signed a full contract with the Tigers and will start with the ichi-gun. He will play right field or third and will bat either fifth or seventh. Okada is excited about his potential and thinks that he will do well. There are still a few rough edges but they should be ironed out soon.

I've been away from the internet but read that Ford had been "deactivated." What does this mean exactly? He is injured or he has just been sent down to ni-gun?

Normally, this means sent down to ni-gun. I haven't heard of any injury so I assume he has been sent down to improve his batting. Baldris has taken his place.

Balderis looked decent in open-sen, so looking forward to seeing how he does. Too bad about Ford. And too bad they went and threw all that money at a new foreign player when they could have just given Sakurai a chance or gone after a proven foreign player like Alex. If the Carp hadn't taken Akamatsu, we also could have tried him in right. He's making the most of his playing time in Hiroshima of course!

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.
