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.

You might think this sounds like Mickey Mantle, but he's probably too far down on the career hit list. This may sound like Barry Bonds by the time he finishes, but he might be short on hits and RBI, while long on walks. Perhaps better correlations might be made of Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, or Frank Robinson.
Jim, you had a great point about Foxx/Ochiai!
