Iwakuma, Uehara, Wada, Matsuzaka

Discussion in the Nichi-Bei forum
Iwakuma, Uehara, Wada, Matsuzaka
Can someone tell me which one of these pitchers (Iwakuma, Uehara, Wada, and Matsuzaka) are most likey coming to MLB? I've seen Tsuoyoshi Wada in the Olympics, both agaisnt the Canada team (shut them out in the first outing) and did really well in the bronze game (like 6.0 innings, 7 K's, 1 run). I was impressed. The annoucer pointed out that Wada was going to give the MLB a shot in 2005 or 2006. Is that true? And Iwakuma can he be a top picther in MLB? Also, does Uehara throw heat? What does he hit on the radar gun? And as for Matsuzaka, I know all about him. His hook for his curve and slider is wicked. I saw him against the Australia team - 13k's in 7.0 innings. On Wednesday, May 25 he struck out 12 while only giving up 3 hits and one 1 run in the complete game. I think he's going to dominate in MLB.

Finally, who is the best out of Iwakuma, Uehara, and Wada? Please reply.
