Hmmm. I'm not sure this was the best decision. While the Swallows do need pitching, I feel that if Kawashima stays healthy, and the young fireballer Sato progresses smoothly, they'll have a nice rotation with Ishikawa in there as well. Miyade was always a potential long ball threat, so I hope the Swallows have someone else in mind that can pinch hit with some pop.

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.
