Brewers to Sign Ozeki
The Brewers and outfielder Tatsuya Ozeki (formely of the Seibu Lions) are set to sign a minor league contract shortly. As part of this contract, Ozeki will be invited to Spring training.

Ozeki who was released by the Lions after last season, in which he struggled, batted .198 with 0 HRs and 1 RBI in 47 games. Ozeki has a career .279 average, with 16 HRs and 244 RBI in his 10 year career with the Lions. Ozeki was also the 1998 Pacific League Rookie of the Year.

Ozeki was praised for his defensive capabilities in a tryout last weekend in Los Angeles. [Full Japan Ball Story]
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.
