Jose Fernandez on AFN
Seibu Lions' slugger Jose Fernandez is currently (3 pm-4 pm) a guest on the Armed Forces Network on their afternoon radio program. He's been talking about the Lions, his experience in Japan, the difference between the majors and Japan, etc. You can tell that he's not from the U.S., but his English is pretty good nevertheless. Kudos to him for doing for going on the program.

Nice. Did he say anything that particularly caught your interest?

No, not really. You can tell he's been well-coached in the "textbook answers" department. In his defense, though, the interviewer was the DJ of the afternoon radio program and she was just awful. Her questions were lousy and you could tell that she knew nothing about baseball and was not prepared to ask him anything interesting.
He did say, however, that he grew up in the Dominican Republic and looked up to guys like Julio Franco and Tony Pena. He said that his dad was a baseball coach and taught some of the guys from the D.R. who ended up in MLB.

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.
