Who's Replacing Johjima and Batista?

Who's Replacing Johjima and Batista?
Since both Johjima and Batista are no longer Hawks, who's the new catcher and thrid baseman?

I heard Matoba is the new catcher, and Ryo is suppose to play third. Are there any other candidates? Because those two can't hit.

Right now those are the two candidates replacing Johjima and Batista unless Softbank brings someone else in, which I doubt.

Softbank has said they want to go in a younger direction at third base, so Yoshimoto will play third. As for catcher, Matoba will replace Johjima, as the Hawks have no other option except to bring back Masanori Taguchi as a free agent, as the free agent market has no catchers after Yano re-signed with Hanshin as expected and Tanishige re-signed with Chunichi, also as expected.

Man, the Hawks really lost a lot of power.

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.
