Olympics Pains?

Olympics Pains?
Okay, given the fact that only 2 players per team are allowed to play for the Japanese National Team, after taking a look at the roster (provided by Gary Garland [Link] at Japan Baseball Daily) in your opinion, which team will be hurting the most during the time those players are away?

Personally, I would have to say either the Chiba Lotte Marines or the Seibu Lions. Chiba is going to lose 2 very good pitchers, but Seibu is not only losing it's ace pitcher and a top RBI producer. But if I am correct, they are also allowing Taiwanese pitchers Chang Chi-chia and Hsu Ming-chieh to Olympic leave as well.

Anybody else care to speculate?
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.
