Ryan Wing in Japan?
Is Ryan Wing still in Japan? I noticed his name still listed on the Fighter's roster but no stats either with the big club or the farm team.

Well, if you go to his player page, it says that he's at ni-gun (the farm), and has been there since the season began. If he were released, I'd update that (as can be seen in profiles for Ken Ikeda and Scott Dohmann).
(I know that the player pages still need some organizational work to better fit with the rest of the site redesign. Like many people, I'm working longer hours for less pay and more stress. I'd like to set aside some time to fix the many problems with the site, but I'm really getting burnt out.)
Nonetheless, a quick scan of news articles shows mention of Ryan in the following articles:

Nonetheless, a quick scan of news articles shows mention of Ryan in the following articles:
- Sim Central - June 4
- Marinerds - May 4
- Marinerds - April 30
- Asahi Shimbun - April 3
- The Daily Yomiuri - April 2

Thanks for the update - you do a fantastic job on the site! I go to it everyday to catch up on Pro Yakyu news.
I was just trying to follow Ryan Wing's career and noticed that the NPB English site lists Wing on the Fighters roster but doesn't show statistics either with the Fighters or on the farm. I was just wondering if he has played at all this year.
The link you gave me to Sim Central for June 4 talks of a shoulder problem so perhaps that answered my question.
Thanks again.

Ryan hasn't pitched in a game this year, no, neither with the farm team nor with the top team. He got injured before the season started and I think he's currently still in the US right now. He was working out with the farm team earlier in the year and I even saw him at Chiba Marine Stadium at one point, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to contribute at all this season.

I just filed this report based on a notice in today's (July 9, 2009) Nikkan Sports:
Out since spring training with pain in his left shoulder, Ryan Wing returned to the U.S. for testing on July 3rd. The results, while not detailed to the press, suggest that Wing requires surgery before season's end.
Hope this helps.
