Foreigner Rule?

Foreigner Rule?
I thought that the foreigner rule was two players. However, I noticed that Softbank often play 3 (Batista, Zuleta, Cabrera), and sometimes they pitch Feliciano as well. I don't watch the Pacific League much, so I wan't sure if the rules were different or if I was told the wrong thing. Could you please clear it up for me? Cheers.

The two player limit was expanded close to 10 years ago.
Please see the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) about foreign player limits, and the Baseball Agreement, Provision 82-2 (Number of Foreign Players). (I could use some help with the Baseball Agreement translation.)
Hope this helps.

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.
