Former Hanshin Tigers manager Senichi Hoshino returned to Japan from the United States on Thursday saying he doesn't want to talk about becoming manager of the Yomiuri Giants.
"The Giants? I have nothing to say about that," Hoshino said on his official Web site. "I've decided that I'm not going to say anything about it and I don't care how persistent they (the media) are."
Hoshino has been mentioned as a possible candidate to replace current manager Tsuneo Horiuchi, likely to step down after this season.
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.
