Taguchi's Fielding Stats
Taguchi's defensive record was asked about on this thread. It took a while, but I managed to dig up fielding stats from 1995-2001. And, here they are:

- I understand that he has played some catcher and second base. Could that account for 26 errors between '98 and '99?

Actually, it was short and second. And it does look like that period of playing infield and outfield hurt his defense. Still, he was ranked 11th in fielding percentage in 2001 and took the Golden Glove. I wonder how much popularity played in that.
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.
