Thanks for the update. Good to see that he's doing well. Mexican League, along with the Independent leagues, seem to be the best way to get back into an MLB organization.

Don't kid yourself. It would be easier to return to the Bigs from NPB than from an Indie team or the Mexican League. He is really trying to hang on.

With the history of Suzuki in Japan, it just has not been to Mac's benefit to play in Japan, as he was expelled for fighting in the 11th grade. He's just never been in place in Japan, and when he went back to Japan was always out of place, too. While he was always a long shot for a job in the A's bullpen, it's nice to know that he's doing well in Mexico. And because of the circumstances it would be easier for Mac to return from Mexico to the majors than Japan.

The worst thing that ever happenned to Suzuki was getting a Major League contract from the Mariners. It forced him to be rushed through the minors and hurt his career.

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.
