Which Positions did These Players Play?
I am looking for some experts to lend me a helping hand. I have a rather long list of outfielders. I need to get more specific. I need to know what were these players' regular postions. I know that Ichiro's regular position was RF. I know Shinjo is a CF. I think Hideki Matsui played CF and RF (is that correct?). Here is the list of outfienders. Please let me know who played regularly at RF, CF, and LF. I have filled in all that I know. Your help is greatly appreciated.

This is difficult information to come by. I'd like to know the source for Garland-san's (Japan Baseball Daily) data and if it's broken down by games played at each position.

The Official Baseball Encyclopedia 2004 has all outfield games played listed only as "Outfield." I'd like to know if anyone's gotten the new two volume set The History of Nippon Professional Baseball 1934-2004 and if the data volume has anything in addition to the Encyclopedia (besides one year's more data). It's hard to justify 31,500 yen to my wife after just getting the Encyclopedia last season.

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.
