Ex-Hanshin players
Just something interesting I noted a couple of days ago. I think six ex-Hanshin Tigers players were starting for the Pacific League teams: Hoshino, Matsuda, Tsuboi, Hirao, Kitagawa, and Shiotani, all either traded, sold, or released(?) by Hanshin. All teams in the Pacific League other than the Lotte Marines had an ex-Tiger on their starting line-up. Interesting...

Do you know if Takanami starts for the Lions? I've seen him playing a couple of times, but does he start often?

Don't have any details (sorry), but rumour has it that he is a regular starter.
I was sorry to see him go; he was referred to as Idaten at Hanshin, which the dictionary defines as "a swift-running heavenly warrior; a great runner." He was very quick, but he just couldn't break into the starting line-up. While he was a great pinch runner, it was a waste of his talents.
Good to hear (through the grapevine) that he's doing well.

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.
