Players in Cleveland Indians System

Players in Cleveland Indians System
Have there been any Japanese players in the Indians' system in the last 3 years, or players in spring training with them?

Thanks.

The Yakult Swallows have a working agreement with the Indians, and have sent people over for training in the past. I hadn't noticed any this year, but remember Itoh Tomohito going over for rehabilitation often. I'm sure there were a couple others who went with him, but I don't recall who they were.

Of course there is the controversial relief pitcher Tadano, who has been playing in Cleveland's minor league system. He supposedly has a chance to reach the majors this season, possibly breaking camp with the big team.

Because he pitched so well in this spring training.

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.
