It should be a good move for Orix if they can sign Nakamura. So far they've signed Kiyohara, Grabowski, and Davey. Not a bad start so far for Orix.

Interestingly Nakamura and Kiyohara put up similar numbers last year. But a CL .750 OPS player in a power position (1B/DH) and a AAA .800 OPS player in another power position (3B/DH) won't make Orix a great team, but they might still be better than all Orix hitters save Shiozaki. How could a team that picked the best players out of two (admittedly bad) teams have been that bad?
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.
