I believe the Pacific League allows 3 now. The Hawks had 3 foreign batters a couple years back as well.

That "gaijin rule" or whatever has been suspended temporarily because of the Olympics. I think teams can have a max of 5 (gaikokujin) players on their team. I may be wrong, but this was posted somewhere else on the forums.

Yes, that would be correct. Rakuten's three foreign hitters are Seguignol, Short, and Fernandez. Pitcher Marcus Gwyn would be the other foreign pitcher, as Domingo Guzman was "dropped for readjustment."

Please read the foreign player FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). It sounds like you're still thinking of pre-2002 rules.
I had read that during the Olympics, teams supplying the Olympic team with 3 or more players may have one more foreign player on the top team. But I have been unable to confirm such a rule with any primary source.

Hm, odd. I could have sworn that CJ Nitkowski mentioned the 2 limit player rule in his blog. I stand corrected though.
Thanks for the responses.

He did, but it was the 4 player limit. The Hawks have uhh, CJ, Powell, Restovich, Standridge, Houlton, and Guttormson on their roster I think? As a result, a few guys always have to be in the minors.

With Rick Short and Jose Fernandez, doesn't that make three foreign batters?
