It looks like you missed the News section with this headline: Marty Brown on List to Manage Carp in 2006.
Today's (September 7, 2005) Nikkan Sports focuses on Yamamoto-kantoku's career as a player and manager. Almost like an eulogy. Unfortunately, the article doesn't hint at anyone to be next, just the standard "[they're] looking at OB inside and outside the organization as well as at foreign managers."
* Note: OB stands for "Old Boys," but generally is translated as "Old Timers" from the specific club.

Seems like a great idea, they need to try something different.

Sounds like a good move. The Carp have been heading in the wrong direction through Yamamoto's tenure. It's amazing he has kept his job this long. You look at the Carp and they have some talent. I'm not saying they should win the division, but they should be competing with the Giants, BayStars, and Swallows. It's obvious the Tigers and Dragons are the class of this division.
They have guys like Ogata, Shima, LaRocca, Maeda, and Arai, all guys who will hit over 20 home runs, and all possibly over 30. Another guy, Kurihara, has over 10 home runs and should make a run at 20 even though he missed the first 2 months. Sounds like it should be a lot of runs.
They their pitching staff of Kuroda, Otake, Davey, and Bale sounds like a team with some pretty good pieces in place. Get a leadoff hitter, shortstop, and shore up the pen and this team could contend with a mangaer with a clue. Ownership needs to make a committment to winning.
