Kaz "Kountdown"
Here's a Reuters story on Yahoo on Kazuo Matsui's final prep for MLB. [Link]

There's a quote from Bob Whiting, who posts here.

What is the buzz and expectation for Kaz right now? There's not much over here on Kaz. Many fans are still angry the Mets didn't try harder for Vladimir Guererro. I agree with the Mets that his disk injury was a risk for a long term contract. Unfortunately, I think Kaz, Piazza, and Floyd are going to need more hitting support if the Mets will do better than .500.

Nevertheless, I am very much looking forward to seeing Kaz play.

Kaz is currently working out with his former Japanese team - Seibu Lions. The Mets do not open camp until Febuary.

The Met fans are unhappy because one of their weaknesses was right field. Vladimir Guerrero was available despite the risk, but instead they signed Garcia. Shortstop was not a weakness because they had Reyes. But I guess they could not pass up Matsui. And some Met fans are skeptical of his skills.

There has been a fair amount of ignorant banter on the Mets message boards about Kaz. The skeptics will be silenced shortly.

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.
