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.

This would give the Giants a legitimate first baseman with the ability to hit 30-40 HRs. For Lotte, this means Benny, Franco, Saburo, and Fukuura need to step up big to replace those numbers. Hopefully, Val Pascucci is coming back and will see a full season in outfield or DH. He's definitely capable of getting Lee numbers.
