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.

Linares is called "The child Linares" in Cuba because he begun at an early age in the National Cuban Series. In Japan, Linares has a low average, therefore the Cuban player hasn't played in many games for his team.
I ask those who follow the Chunichi Dragons: What are your opinions about the performance of Linares in the Japanese League?
Thanks in advance.
