I believe Koji Akiyama is the current manager of the ni-gun Hawks team, [rhetorical question] could this be a step? From what I've heard from the players, they're not too fond of Oh as a manager. I probably don't think Oh will stop as manager, because you'd be ridding the public-ness of Oh, especially coming after two first place finishes.
Nemoto (manager before Oh) moved to the position of GM, and in the long term, built up a very strong Hawks team, taking them from the laughing stock of the Pacific League to a yearly contender.

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.
