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.

His Japanese baseball "expert" was Wayne Graczyk who didn't say anything that you all have already read here or at Garland-guru's site. I wonder if he's getting as tired as some of us about answering the same questions over and over such as,
and the like. Hey, he even agrees with us that Shinjo has more influence on players going over than Ichiro.
