Maybe Orix should sign this guy up. Then they can have DJ for JP. Even trade.
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.

Houlton will sign a deal worth 60 million yen. He's expected to help as extra starting pitching depth with the injuries to Wada and Saitoh.
He went 0-2 with a 4.18 ERA in 18 games with the Dodgers last year. In 23 games with AAA Las Vegas, he went 6-4 with a 3.65 ERA. Houlton has a 6-11 record with a 4.99 ERA in 53 games.
