I'm afraid that he'd been sent down to the farm as he went too many starts without making it through five innings.
In place of Walker, the BayStars called up a young Floridan named Cedric Bowers who they've had working on the farm team since April. Cedric had a little problem with the long ball his first couple of outings, but managed to throw the BayStars' first complete game victory of the year last night, defeating Hiroshima 8-1. A home run to LaRocca with two outs in the top of the 9th was the only run he gave up.
Nonetheless, Pete had avoided being sent down a couple of times during the first half with some very good outings. But overall, he just hasn't been consistant enough.
I wish I had something better to tell you.

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.

I'm a sportswriter from Connecticut who runs weekly stats in our paper for local players. One such player, Pete Walker of the BayStars, hasn't had any changes in his stats in over a month. Has he been released? Is he injured? Any light you could shed on this subject I would appreciate.
