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.

I was disappointed the other day to find out that Nakamura is not going to the Mets, but the Buffaloes offered him a very nice deal, so, ..., good luck to him.
Scrolling through Yahoo! sports/mlb, I noticed that Pudge may go to Japan. I thought that this may be far-fetched, but then I thought of others who are going to play in Japan next year already; this may be an incomplete list, but here is who I know is going to Japan already: (please correct me if I'm wrong/add to this list)
Roosevelt Brown, from the Cubs to the Blue Wave
Angel Echevarria
Benny Agbayani, from the Red Sox to the Carp?
Steve Cox, from the Devil Rays
Andy Sheets, from the D-Rays
Thanks a lot.
