Eric Young to Buffaloes?
I heard Eric Young is trying out for the Orix Buffaloes. Anyone heard about it?

Do you mean Eric Junge (pronounced Young) the pitcher, or Eric Young the ESPN analyst? If it is true, it must be the former, but it seems they don't need anyone else.

Sorry, my bad. That's the problem with Katagana. It has to be Junge, the age fits. Is Eric Junge any good?

He is a big righty, decent arm, was playing in the Atlantic League (Independent) in 2007, I believe.

- Is Eric Junge any good?

He isn't what I call anything special. Junge [Baseball-Reference] has what I call average numbers, he might be able to be a serviceable starter, but I doubt it. There are definitely way more six year minor league free agents better than this guy.

Any word if Orix is going to sign Junge?

I bought a baseball magazine today which listed Eric Young on the Buffaloes, but I never heard if he had been signed.

Is he really signed, or will SoftBank announce they have signed him? LOL. Are they going to sign Van Buren?

Where did you find that information? I can't find it anywhere.

He is listed on ORIX's web-site. No picture yet, but he'll be wearing #91.

I realize that this is an old thread, but I just need to add this.

Can someone please link the Orix website?

Their official website is located here. Yunge's page is here.

Note: Their official site is all in Japanese.

You can find their latest rosters in English here, and their 2008 schedule. Finally Yunge's English page is here (be logged in if you want current information).
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.
