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.

My record so far is 11-7-1, but could be much worse. I lost Yu Darvish for a month after his very first start. First game of the season I pitched him 12 innings, 150+ pitches, but strained his shoulder muscle in the process. Got him the win thankfully with a sayonara hit in the bottom of the 12th so not all bad. Inaba has been on fire for me. No matter what ballpark or what pitcher he absolutely rakes. Hes currenly hitting over .300 with 6 bombs and 12 rbi. In Yu's place I called up a Ni-Gun named Sakakibara and he has gotten me 2 wins! Yu is due back in less than 10 days and I'm not sure if I want to drop Sakakibara back down or drop Sweeney who has been less than stellar. Anybody else got a good season going?
