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.

I've been lurking on this site for a while, this is my first post. Just call me Jingu Bleacher Bum as I'm a Yakult Swallows fan ever since 1999. My question goes out to anyone with information willing to share it.
I remember last year The Japan Times, and the Asahi International Herald Tribune newspapers both printed out previews for the 2003 NPB season, and they were very handy references for records and player names. I have been watching both the web sites and the newspapers themselves to see when this year's preview is coming out, but have seen nothing yet. Does anybody know if either, or any newspaper for that matter, is doing a preview this year?
