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.

1. Updating rosters with all offseason changes. This means Kosaka, Toyoda, and Noguchi are Giants. Kiyohara goes to Orix. LaRocca goes to Yakult. Tony Batista and others are gone.
2. Changing batting stances. I'm giving Aoki's stance to Suzuki of the Giants. I'm also updating Kokubo's batting stance to something a little less annoying.
3. Creating players in Success Mode like Kaz Ishii, Norihiro Nakamura, Rick Short, Denney Tomori, and Masao Kida.
4. Assuming who goes where. I'm already assuming that Rhodes is going to Orix and Ishii is going to be a Swallow again. Heck, just to make things fun, I may add Sammy Sosa to the Fighters. Hehe.
