Looking over your list of foreign players, I can give you a short biography of a few of them. Rob Stanifer played with the Iowa Cubs (Chicago Cubs AAA Affiliate) during the 2001 season. Previously he was with the Pawtucket Red Sox (Boston's AAA Affiliate)in 1999 & 2000. Previous to that he was drafted as a Florida Marlin in 1996.
Carlos Castillo played with the Pawtucket Red Sox in the 2000 & 2001 season.
Morgan Burkhart played with the Pawtucket Red Sox in the 2000 & 2001 season as well.

Marc Valdes, who is now 30 years old, pitched for Miami in 1995-6, Montreal in 1997-8, Houston in 2000 and Atlanta in 2001. Overall, he made 144 appearances including 22 starts. He had a record of 12-15 and 4 saves. I believe there has been discussion of Trey Moore elsewhere on this site.

Scott Bullett is discussed elsewhere on this site. Boi Rodriguez has gotten around. Atlanta took him in the 3rd round from Indiana State. He was at Greenville in AA with them in '91. By '95 he was at AAA Calgary in the Pittsburgh system and was a replacement Pirate during the strike. In 2000 he played for the Yuma Bullfrogs of the independent Western League. His last stop before Japan was Monclova in the Mexican League last year.

Thanks for all of the information on the players. That's inspired me to get around to creating that "biography" table in the player database, and I've been entering in what you've all been contributing above. It's a start.
And, yes, I updated the player page to output the profiles as well. See Domingo Guzman or Boi Rodriguez for a couple of examples. (One with a logged in contributor, the other not logged in.)
Let me know what you think. And of course, keep those profiles coming.

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.
