Baseball Regular Season Start?

Baseball Regular Season Start?
When does the regular season start? What about pre-season games, when do they start? Who are the starting pitchers for the Seibu Lions?

Open-sen (pre-season games) start today, February 24. The Pacific League opens on Saturday, March 24. The Central League starts the following Friday night, March 30. The 2007 season schedules are available from the Teams page as well as printable schedules in this thread.

As for the Lions' starting rotation, this Nikkan Sports article [in Japanese] states:
6人の先発ローテーションも「決まってない」と白紙状態。

The six man rotation has "not yet been decided on," leaving it a blank slate.
The article also points out that Fumiya Nishiguchi and Takashi Ishii are currently working out at ni-gun (farm level). It's a fair bet that they'll be joining the top team before the end of open-sen.

Does that help?
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.
