Tiger Closer

Tiger Closer
I think Fujikawa should close for the Tigers. Anyone agree? He's got true closers numbers: in 14.2 innings he has 25 strikeouts with a 0.61 ERA - just amazing.

Yea, Kubota is good, but Fujikawa is a waste to be a setup man. He is too good for that role.

The notion of a "closer" who comes in mostly on save situations is kind of outdated. Fujikawa should definitely be used in high leverage situations like late in the game leading by 1 run, 2-3 runs with runners on, a tied game, or even losing by 1 run.

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.
