Where in the world is Jeff Liefer of the Seibu Lions? Did he fall on a sword?

According to his player page, he was dropped to ni-gun (the farm) on May 18 "for readjustment." That could mean he wasn't performing up to expectations, that the Lions wanted to try out another foreign player, or that he's got a pain in his shoulder or something and is hoping that some rest will fix it. The "dropped for readjustment" is the catch all that teams use without giving any specific reason.

It's likely, like Michael said, he was dropped down to ni-gun because he wasn't performing up to expectations. Liefer [NPB-BIS Player Page- in Japanese] was batting just .223 (23 for 103).
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.
