Aki Closing for Rangers
I'm kind of surprised this hasn't been mention, but Otsuka is closing out games for the Rangers. What do you guys think about this? He's 2 for 2 in saves.

Former closer Francisco Cordero was struggling heavily, and so Texas decided to name Ohtsuka closer. So far he has been great. He was great as a closer in Japan with the Buffaloes and Dragons. Also, he was lights out as a closer for the Japanese WBC team.

Otsuka has been doing great so far. They are writing "Yosshaaa!" on the big screen after the last out when he gets a save. It's pretty funny.

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.
