Giants Stars Update?

Discussion in the Ask the Commish forum
Giants Stars Update?
As an English speaking (and reading) Giants fan, I am wondering what happened to some of their stars. Missing in action this year are:
  • Seung-Yeop Lee
  • Yoshinobu Takahashi
  • Tomohiro Nioka
  • Koji Uehara
Why are these guys not playing regularly?

Quickly looking at their player pages and their statuses shows:
  • Seung Yeop Lee was dropped for readjustment, as he was struggling batting .135 with 0 HR's and 8 RBI. [Player Page - NPB Official Site - in Japanese]
  • Takahashi had pain in his back.
  • Nioka tore his calf muscle.
  • Uehara was dropped for readjustment, which you can take as he was struggling, as he was 0-4 with a 6.75 ERA in 5 games. [Player Page - NPB Official Site - in Japanese]

Takahashi - injured
Nioka - injured
Uehara - poor performance - ni-gun

Player's pages will have more details of the injuries.

Thanks.
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.
