A trade - Kubo joins the Tigers

Discussion in the Tiger Tails forum
A trade - Kubo joins the Tigers
Tigers traded their relief pitcher Kentaro Hashimoto for Lotte's Yasutomo Kubo. This looks like a very nice move. Kubo who is from Nara has under-performed for Lotte (only his first year was impressive) but has lots of potential to become a better pitcher. If Tigers can bring this out he will add a lot to the side. Hashimoto has pitched in relief for Tigers but without any particular distinction.

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.
