Well, with Yomiuri finally out of the pennant race, they demoted three [Japan Baseball Daily] to ni-gun.

George Arias, Toshihisa Nishi, and Takayuki Onishi were demoted to ni-gun.

Arias batted .167(10-60) with 2 HR's and 5 RBI. Nishi batted .186(21-113) with 1 HR and 7 RBI. Onishi batted .133(4-30) with 0 HR and 0 RBI.

Yomiuri promoted Taketoma Sogoma, Joe Dillon, and Motohiro Yoshikawa to the top team. Dillon batted .215(14-65) with 1 HR and 6 RBI.

Anyone else get the feeling that Nishi won't be playing for the Giants in 2007?

Yeah, that's the feeling I got when I first saw the news. Nishi has struggled since becoming a free agent in 2004. Maybe Yomiuri has finally seen that they finally need to get younger now and develop their farm system.



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.
