"If it was not for his seven million dollar contract he would have been gone long ago."The Mets will use two subs at second base to fill out the team. However, it's still Willie R.'s call.
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, there was talk that he told Japan News Bureau about his knee and said nothing to Willie R. Now the GM has to get between the story. Some fans say he has quit on the team based on his news conference with Japan News Bureau. They question his game playing streak in NPB - was it real?
WFAN had about a 1 and 3/4 hours long soap opera call in involving Kazuo. They also pointed out the Mets are the same this year as last, and this part of June was when the season was all but lost.
