Being a Mariner fan myself, I would love to see Hideki Matsui in left field. Somehow I think it is a long shot he'll play for the Mariners, though. I don't think the east coast travel distance is a factor in whether or not a player from Japan would choose the west coast over the east coast. But in terms of demographics, the west coast is home to more Asians than the east coast is, so there might be a marketing factor involved in the decision.
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.

Also, one of the reasons why we might not see Japanese players on the East Coast is because of the long trips home. So Yankees, BoSox, and Mets are a long shot for some of the Japanese elite. What do you think?
